It's because American media exports are mostly produced by a small group of people in California, one of the more socially progressive parts of the country.
A significant portion of the country's 330 million people are indeed prudes.
- acdha 4y agoThere’s more nuance to it than that, however: consider how the standards of film ratings diverge from the people making films. “This film is not rated” dug into that at some length, and I think it’s worth considering how much that has skewed the entire public discourse. We’re missing out on a lot of great movies because everyone knows that you can get approval for violence much easier than a healthy relationship. I’d also note the difference between the public moral image projected and what they practice in private. We have far more hypocrites than prudes.
