> showing a naked body was not done, but insane aggression was perfectly fine.

[1] is a decent documentary about the weird and inconsistent standards applied by the MPAA. But yeah, violence is fine, man-focused sex is passable, woman-focused sex is bad, homosexual sex is RIGHT OUT, etc.

These days in media, in America violence is acceptable but sex is bad, in Japan violence is bad but sex is acceptable.

Um, there are a lot more (often gratuitous) sex scenes in US-made TV/ movies than Japanese ones, from what I've observed. And while there's generally far less glorified violence, you only need to watch something like Alice in Borderland to see some pretty explicitly violent stuff.

Perhaps both types of images ought be prohibited. Perhaps neither.

But, it’s worth realizing the two categories are different, and they are regulated differently (either legally or socially) for good reasons.

Sexual images have a propensity to make you horny.

Violent images do not have propensity to make you violent. At least not as acutely.

Total Recall has some legendary (simulated, iirc) nudity.

As an aside, it turns out my phone dictionary does not contain the word "nudity".
