But it very much is, at least in a "Western world" context which usually also includes Europe, were attitudes to violence and nudity can be completely reversed to the US.

For one of the most prominent examples, just compare the US to Germany: For decades Germany censored very mundane video games, like Counter Strike or Doom, for their depiction of violence.

In games like Command&Conquer, Half-Life and others, whole enemy units and models were replaced to appease the German rating boards. The original DOS Doom game was only "unbanned" in 2011.

A lot of violent movies and TV shows are only aired in censored versions in Germany, yet on these very same channels, during late night, there regularly is completely barrier free soft-core erotica content that for many Americans would qualify as "porn".

Another example is the naturism/nudist culture that very much has a old and somewhat popular tradition in Germany as FKK. It's also a thing in the US, yes, but it never was on a comparable mainstream level like in Germany.

These differences exist because there simply isn't this one unified "Western culture" that some people stipulate to be a thing.

This whole post is a non-sequitir.

Op was about religious ideas from the 1600s that were far from uniquely American. They’re an ingredient! But let’s not get carried away with the 7th grade social studies stuff.

I'd say OP meant puritanism as it evolved in USA after those puritans were driven out of Europe to new world.

Most of W Europe doesn't seem aligned with 1600 views today. Significant parts of US culture is aligned with 17-1800 us puritanism views.

Name one other Western Civilization country that has the same kind of attitude towards sex.

Australia and the UK have porn filters on their internet. Australia also has weirdly strict child porn law that can turn an innocent recording from broadcast TV into illegal porn by simple editing. Simpsons porn is illegal too, despite the characters having the wrong number of fingers to be human.

The UK's most popular newspaper ran with "page 3" topless models until 2015.

What kind of editing would cause that? I'll be shocked if this is true. Im curious if thats some interpretation of a law or someone have been convicted because of things like that?

An example I heard of was including mostly scenes showing a child's crotch area and dubbing dirty (but legal) music over it.

The world is bigger than Western countries.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries come to mind along with the USA when I think of religious puritanism.

How is a relevant to a claim about Western civilization?
