Sex vs Violence

I just overheard some soccer mom caterwalering about not wanting her kids to see boobies in video games (even though that story is 3 or 4 months old, but apparently she just not got wind of it) but the fact that they're playing video games in which you bust a cap in people's asses all day long doesn't seem to faze her one bit. She didn't mention the violence at all but just couldn't shut up about the how "inappropriate" and "immoral" the boobies were.

Why are Americans so afraid of nekkid women, but gratuitious violence is OK?

"It's for the children!" Yeah, right.

Honestly, which would be the more traumatic experience for your kid to witness in person - a couple gettin' it on, or a murder? Assume they don't know any of the parties involved, and (hopefully!) aren't involved themselves.

If sex is really so bad, then why don't they have post-traumatic counselors for when kids walk in on their parents, like they do for school shootings?

What makes it even more bizarre, is nudity and sex is something they will be involved with themselves some day, but it's an off-limits subject. Gratuitous killing and maiming is something they shouldn't be doing, but hey, it's cool.
