- nerdponx 8y agoThey appeal to sexuality specifically because it is edgy and shocking to a large percentage of the population. American media is quite prude on the whole. Don't forget that many of the early settlerd in the USA were literally Puritans. Hard-right moralizing Christianity has always felt at home here. Also, as stated in many other places in this thread, it's ridiculous to ascribe to change to Islam.
- WillPostForFood 8y agoDo you think islamic values are more or less prude than American values?
- nerdponx 8y agoThat's a non-sequitur. You're comparing a religion with a continent or a nation-state, depending on what you mean by American. If you mean Christian values, then no, they seem about the same. But I'm not a theologian and my opinion is uninformed and irrelevant. Either way, it's clearly not because of Islamic values.
