Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe?

  Are you European? Do you think nothing matters? I have been around far too many Europeans that think that way and definitely do not look towards Europe for what I want America to be. Is it the desensitization of nudity? Probably not alone. But it’s one tiny piece of the nihilistic puzzle.

  Look, you have it, you enjoyed it, and now it’s no longer a big deal. In other words, you no longer enjoy it like you once did. We’d rather not go that way. Everything in moderation. We’ll save the cyberpunk dystopia for another day.

      If you think that a particular thing matters a lot, and other people think that thing doesn’t matter at all, then clearly they’re nihilistic degenerates.

        And just like that, suddenly Alles Scheiße is no longer cool, go figure.

        Europeans are the masters of nihilism. It’s kind of honestly surprising your birth rates aren’t lower. We have our own growing culture of nihilism to battle and we certainly don’t need it harder.

        Americans are far from prudes, but there’s a place and a time for nudity. If we allowed public nudity in advertisements, half of our billboards would turn into porn. If you don’t believe me, look at any state that’s legalize marijuana: it seems literally half of all advertising is for weed. Maybe if we didn’t have hyper aggressive market forces we could relax our laws a bit.

    Europeans don’t think nothing matters, where did that come from? They just don’t all think sex and nudity are shameful or evil. A positive approach is not the same as nihilistic or desensitized or whatever.
