– Why in many countries nudity or even sex are more taboo than violence and gore?
In: 4
Like the US? Because the priorities were defined by an acceptance of taking up arms and going to war to protect the picket fence way of life based around what the bible said was acceptable and unacceptable. And nudity and sex, despite scandals and suppression running rampant in the old days (and still are), did not benefit that agenda. Rather, it inspired free thinking, which those who built the country on religious belief did not want. Such as what led to the 60’s movement of drugs and creative expression, which confirmed the fears of the conservatives in altering their way of life and causing them to feel “uncomfortable” in their own country. It’s just about oppressing anything that is different, so sex and nudity inspires that kind of thinking. Chastity is traditionally taught by those who are religious and the US is a religious based country traditionally. But the bible was pro violence across the board, so that was okay. Sex without marriage was not, along with (women specifically) not being allowed to be able to express themselves sexually. It’s the same reason women have been so oppressed as well in other ways, while men were allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted. All based on what the bible says.
