I guess Norway wasn't as socially advanced as we think...

That's not law/censorship

It's pandering to the audience.

If someone makes a movie to sell it (which is what any studio's goal is) they pander to what the general populace will like the most, with offending as few people as possible.

Movie makers put what they want in movies. If they want to make money, they pander. If they have an artistic vision, they make it, and people who go to motion pictures for the art get it through independent venues (Film fests being my method of choice)

Cost does not effect price

Hayes code certainly was but if you look closely, I did not say enforcing patriarcal heterosexual ideology is a law. What I wanted to point out was the fact it requires a certain amount of self-censorship from the director.

As far as film industry goes, larger exposure means obeying this ideology. Some people see it as a form of censorship, you see it as market economy. Which ever is correct depends on a personal POV.

That's why shows like Queer As Folk kick ass

Eh, don't worry about me. I'm writing this thread off as one of my losses. It was created late at night, so I wasn't in my best form at the time.

Hope this doesn't affect my stock value, though

Thank God the points don't matter.
