America has, since inception, been absolutely fine with violence, often celebrating it, and completely disgusted with sexuality. It’s perhaps the single most backwards thing about North American culture, imo.
But what do you expect out of a society whose entire history is “we wanted to go somewhere else, so we came to this place and killed the natives that got in our way.”
It’s fascinating that a country where a place like Hooters is normal and strip clubs are a socially acceptable place to hang out in is so worked up over sex things
American pop culture is fine with sex as long as it’s not two men:
✅ Woman kissing a woman
✅ Woman kissing a man
✅ Woman having sex with a woman
✅ Woman having sex with a man
✅ Woman having sex with herself
✅ Man kissing a woman (already covered)
❌ Man kissing a man
✅ Man having sex with a woman (already covered)
❌ Man having sex with a man
✅ Man having sex with himself
It’s always sex stuff that gets Americans worked up.

But only when it’s consensual. It’s okay when that gets violent and exploitative.
