Incessant infantilization of college-aged adult people is part of the problem. A 21 y.o. is not a child by any standard I can think of.
They can take enormous debts in their name, enlist to the army and sacrifice their life, become professional firefighters or miners, use various legal drugs, do dangerous jobs such as sailors etc.
Please do not frame adult people as "children" only because they attend a college. It is patronizing and denies them self-control and agency. It also tends to produce bad, heavy-handed, intrusive and oppressive policies aimed to control them "for their own good".
A scene which was clearly written as an expose of real bad stuff that happened but that subtext flew past the commenter who thought it was accidentally included in a movie script because it was no big deal.
just because that blogger is apparently a neopuritan with psychological issues does not mean that scene was an expose...it was not...it was just showing a part of life, just like the whole movie was basically a chronicle of everyday life in america of that time..
Well, I for one welcome our new anti-child-abuse overlords.
