It is kinda weird to see war footage of people burning alive, dismembered corpses, children being bombed. But one little nipple... I guess US TV is the same.

- nerdponx 5y agoI always assumed it was because of Christianity making sex taboo above almost all else.
- pbhjpbhj 5y agoAh, so that's why Catholics have so few children. /s It's easier to be chaste than it is to be holy, so people go for chasteness and pretend it's holiness. Completely misunderstanding the gospels in three process.
- runako 5y agoIn fairness, American TV also does not (frequently) show (real) gore as is often the case in other countries.
- suifbwish 5y agoWhat are you talking about, more than half of the internet bandwidth being used in the world as I type this is transmitting pictures of nipples.
- onion2k 5y agoA 2014 Google study reckoned 4% of the Internet is porn. https://www.statista.com/chart/16959/share-of-the-internet-that-is-porn/ https://www.statista.com/chart/16959/share-of-the-internet-t...
- nrclark 5y ago4% of websites, according to that article. I didn't see any graphs on bandwidth. I doubt that half of all traffic is porn, but 10% wouldn't surprise me at all.
- mescaline 5y agoEven this comment contains nipples. ( o ) ( o )
- Robotbeat 5y agoI've noticed social media using more aggressive censorship (not exactly censorship; more like requiring you to be logged in) on war gore than sexually explicit images.
- watwut 5y agoI did not seen children being bombed. I have heard about that happening and seen video where it took place, but after the fact and fairly sanitized. The brutality of War is not nearly shown as much on TV as your comment implies, at least not in TV I was watching.
- norvvryo 5y agoReal violence is getting harder to find as well. Everything that isn't advertiser friendly is purged from mainstream channels. And it seems like the definition of "advertiser friendly" gets more and more stringent every day.
- tyrfing 5y agoYou're overstating it, lots of violent content is banned on every single popular platform, including hosting services.
- teej 5y agoI have to activate a complicated account level override to see nipples on the Reddit app. I can see gore in 2 clicks.
- tyrfing 5y agoJames Foley, Christchurch, etc. There's a long list of stuff that is almost universally censored, it's not a matter of setting account flags. Incidentally, Reddit is one of the most permissive hosts in terms of content, allowing stuff that even Imgur doesn't.
- throw_a_grenade 5y agoIn Europe, sex is good and violence is bad. In the US, it's the other way around. (stolen from someone on /. years ago)
