Sex, breasts, swearwords? As far as I can remember the American staple was and is to bleep every fucking thing that could potentially be connected to a nipple.

I don't know about the rest, but I think bleeping swearwords is partly an editing decision. It makes swearing seem more effective (powerful?) to me. It's a at to emphasize swearing.

Bleeping swearwords and sex is about keeping things innocent and appropriate for children. Has nothing to do with censorship. No ideas are discussed when a breast is blacked out.

Censoring words and topics is literally the textbook definition of censorship; are you trying to be dense?
