Pooping is taboo. Periods are taboo. Being gay is taboo. Psychedelic are taboo. Death is taboo. Money in my country is taboo.
Hell, for a long time, things like tattoos, breast feeding, and psychoanalysis were taboo.
In some culture, women have to hide behind religious clothing because their body is taboo.
A taboo is just a symptom of a society being sick. Taboo get people frustrated, violent, judgemental, unhappy.
It's in the same category as a dogma, as a basic "bad" or "good" label, as a blindness faith or a never criticized tradition. It's inertia. It's simplistic.
But the funny thing is... taboo is nothing special either. Just human nature.
