If a person is offended by certain content, that person should simply avoid material that offends. It's a very simple procedure that allows for individual freedom while still protecting the sensibilities of others. There are warning labels, genres, ratings... All it takes is a bit of attention, and offensive content is easy to avoid. Complete removal of graphic or offsensive items altogether, besides restricting freedom of expression and oppressing individual rights, can take a lot of depth from things like movies. A well-placed moment of graphic tragedy can ram home a moral more effectively than a thousand lectures. Moreso, where is the line drawn. What's okay to show and what's not? How, exactly, should it be defined as to what's appropriate for the public and what's not? It's not possible to draw any sort of line like that without completely trampling on the rights of thousands, maybe millions, of people. So, to defend those rights, those lines should never be drawn.
