    I think both a completely acceptable. I think studies have concluded watching violent movies wont make you violent, and in the same way watching movies with nudity wont make you a rapist.

    I could care less about violence or boobs, my concern is why are more women shown naked in movies than men? The male persuasion gets to see frontal nudity far more often than the female persuasion. Have you ever really thought about that??

    The sight of boobs before the age of 18 will turn a man into a woman, trust me, it happened.

    Really? Can you, please, name a single country in which a Hollywood blockbuster with dozens kills is worse accepted by society than an erotic movie?

    nudity can be easily defined. what is considered extreme violence is subjective

    Here in America, I watched a documentary detailing a man's sex transition into a woman. In one scene, the MAN was lying on a hospital bed, bare chested, awaiting his silicon breast implant. The doctor begins to make the incision while holding a wobbly, gelatin mass in his hand. The MOMENT he puts it under the mans bare, uncesored chest, the screen is immediately blurred and censored.

    Moments like that makes me hate how ridiculous censorship is.

    Mortal Kombat was the example.. so Splitting peoples skulls open with a Hat-saw, ripping their spine from their mouth, Having Bees eat all the flesh from their face, Rip both arms and legs clean off at the same time and such
    And the nudity i'm refering to shoulden't be seen as straight up porno.. Look at the link i posted, i haven't played the senran Kagura game so dono if there is actual nipples in it, But just bouncing boobs shoulden't be this be so bad that it needs to be banned from beging played xD

    Whenever the topic of Sex vs Violence comes up, we have a tendency to come up with overly simplistic explanations for why one is worse than the other.

    Both are really subjective.

    Coming from a Western (especially American, as Europeans tend to be a lot more lax when it comes to sexual content) perspective, sexuality needs to be looked at from the lens of conservative mores. Conservative mores are deeply tied to religious mores (even if you aren't practicing a religion, social conservative morality usually aligns with religious ones).

    Religions have a strange love-hate relationship with sex. Procreation is encouraged, recreational sex is frowned upon and seen as "immoral". The thing about recreational sex (especially outside marriage) is that to a great extent it is extremely liberating. Religions (and by extension conservatives) have an obsession with order.

    Procreation is a tool, and thus religions regulate it. Any expression of sexuality outside the established acceptable limits is seen as a rebellion against the order of things (and thus God) which makes it all a terrible sin. Being sexual is part of human nature, it is one of our strongest biological urges thus is understandable that conservatives fear this compulsion towards "disorder".

    Violence is more ambivalent. Almost all known deities have used force and violence in benefit of their followers in mythology. God, Zeus, Odin etc. often strike down their enemies, either to protect their authority, their followers or just to maintain order. This creates the illusion that violence can be used for good. (Just War) So not all forms of violence are reprehensible and some are even justified.

    Nazis bad.
    Allies good.

    Murderer bad.
    Death penalty good.

    Etc.

    This makes violence more tolerable for conservatives.

    (Note that I haven't highlighted a single religion, most Abrahamic religions in their conservative forms have similar attitudes towards sexuality, outliers exist, as do non Abrahamic religions that place significantly less emphasis on sex as a sin or place none at all.)
