Made up by whom? This crap to be in the author's head in order to synthesize fiction about it. Conservatives ought to be opposed to the candidacy of a mind like that.
No no no.
If you do not whole heartedly endorse a father fellating his son as good wholesome enlightening entertainment with orgasmic glee, that means you are in the "tongue clucking class."
I think that means you are bad, or something.
So are you saying that historical fiction should not try to capture in as vivid a manner possible the realities of time and place? Webb would be doing a DISSERVICE to the genre by watering down/censoring the atrocious behavior that did occur in real life within this temporal framework. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it has to be unrealistically rosy.
Webb's inclusion of these explicit scenes could just as well be taken as a profoundly negative commentary on them.
Maybe all new fictional works based on 9/11 should not include the Towers being hit and falling down, or the planes being hijacked. Because, you know, that's murder and heartbreak, awful things really.
