Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'Hays Code'

The Hays Code was a set of moral guidelines that governed American filmmaking from 1934 to 1968, prohibiting profanity, nudity, drug use, and various controversial themes in motion pictures. Implemented by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, it significantly shaped Hollywood's Golden Age by forcing filmmakers to develop creative workarounds for adult themes. In alternate history scenarios, different implementations or absence of the Hays Code could dramatically alter cultural development and artistic expression in 20th century media.
