The Big [Censored] Theory

Mormons have a well-documented refusal to assimilate while concurrently using devious and mono-social-mind power to cheat the systems they benefit from and complain about frequently. If there’s one home grown US group that embodies “have their cake and eat it too” it’s culturally ingrained in the definition of being a practicing Mormon.

Now if you object, replace the word Mormon with Skinhead regarding mentality of others not in the group, and maybe you’ll get the picture.

I'm not a Mormon and I don't deny that I think the particulars of their belief system are often weird. But I don't think the nature of Mormons actually matters in this context, and speaking generally I don't think there is anything wrong with people choosing which media they and their families consume. If people want to fast forward over parts of a movie they don't like, I think that's understandable. And if their decision about which parts of a movie to skip is weird to me, so what?

Skinhead? Holy. Sounds like someone is annoyed with the missionaries knocking on their door.

Your just confusing the Mormons with Republicans. Both being the majority in Utah. You'll find little difference in other republican controlled states.
