| Opposition to nudity is ideological. As a European, it is a very American Puritan thing to have. |

| I particular when every American blockbuster and TV show needs more girls with generous breasts and love scenes than actual plot and actors, but plain clothed girls holding hands online is nudity. |

I don't have the words for it, but it seems like everyone is fine with MASSIVE violence in every piece of media. I feel like I've lost the plot somewhere. | | |
| ▲ | kuerbel 4 days ago | parent [-] | | It went off the rails with Game of Thrones. Before that hyperviolence was found mostly in horror movies, and that's fine imo, it's a specific genre. But nowadays it's in so many shows and movies. | | |
| ▲ | willvarfar 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | All the american action movies we watched in the 80s and 90s with Rambo and Schwarzenegger etc were all about violence? Most American movies seem to work guns into them somehow too. | |
| ▲ | goodcanadian 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | American TV has always been violent. It may have been less gory in the past, but there has always been gun fights and fist fights and violence of many kinds. |

| ▲ | bluefirebrand 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You definitely haven't been paying attention to blockbusters and TV shows over the past decade or so have you? They have become remarkably sexless, practically no titillation to be found anywhere | | |
| ▲ | alistairSH 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Probably depends on how one defines "blockbuster"... Yes, the highest-grossing movies (Marvel, etc) tend to be mostly sexless (aside from tight-fitting costumes and dirty jokes). But, there are always plenty of critically acclaimed Hollywood movies with lots of sex. Poor Things being a recent example. | | |

| ▲ | anonzzzies 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I was going to say that. Also other US stuff I see: a lot of pointless sex and nudity. | | |
| ▲ | nottorp 4 days ago | parent [-] | | <cough> Game of Thrones... the hollywood idea of a "mature" series. |

| Especially when you can post actual harmful stuff like group hate and threats - no problem. What an absolutely moronic world we live in. |

| As if the US is the only culture with these taboos and religious beliefs when it comes to nudity... |
| |
| ▲ | wkat4242 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | It's one of the strictest in the western world though. Together with the UK. | | | |

| ▲ | saubeidl 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I never said it was the only one. Of course, there's other examples. Strict Islamic cultures come to mind. However, it isn't universal. It is a specific ideological choice - that's my point! |

| US culture imperialism. Only the US culture is right. Every other is wrong. This has been going on for 40 years with TV and then on the internet with social media. |

| ▲ | saubeidl 4 days ago | parent [-] | | The content policy is ideology, that's my point. It's not some neutral statement, it's a codified ideological creed. | | |
| ▲ | Linguist6514 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Ok. Then people can use social media sites that match their ideologies. I'm not saying anything against one ideology or the other. I'm saying that people are allowed to have different ideologies, and they shouldn't be shamed or bullied into changing their ideologies because, apparently, Europeans are sexually loose. Meta Platforms Inc. is an American company. Don't like American ideologies? Don't subject yourself to them. Use something else. Decentralyzed social media is pretty popular these days, and it fits better with EU's digital privacy laws anyway. Also, Facebook doesn't need to become a porn site when Porn Hub already has comments. | | |
| ▲ | saubeidl 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I agree! Which is why I believe the EU should block American social media spreading their prudery through cultural imperialism! |
