I think that's the classic US/UK culture split though.

US is strict on language and nudity, but comparatively lax on violence (except blood).

UK is lax on nudity and language (comparatively), but very strict on violence.

UK being the country that considered the word "ninja" too violent for children, for example.

Violence is pretty okay in the middle east, which makes it socially acceptable by inheritance in the uk.

I’m pretty sure GTA has never been rated below M which, as I recall, is 17+. Not a massive difference between that and BBFC’s 18 rating…
