Not sex, violence.

Somewhere along the way we decided that kids can't see boobs until they're 21, but should be fine watching people get murdered.

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.

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.

		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.

		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.
