A little off topic but I find it funny how you say that Americans are afraid of nudity. I find american culture full of sex themes personally lol. I felt like such a prude there. Well Utah is probably different but I've never been there.
Sexual themes is different it's merely naughty, and at times offensive to some. Nudity is a different thing it's for the large part completely wrong. Even a covered breast as your feeding your little brat is seen as offensive. Yet it is fine to show scantily clad women draped over something in an erotic manner.... Swear I need to move to Europe or something..
It's why Americans are often viewed as they are sexual themes oooooh yeaaaaaah!! Nudity - omg Ethel don't look!! Thats barbaric, distasteful, yadda, yadda yadda, go shower with your clothes on hypocrit.
As for how it is part of the topic. It's a point that instead of using it as a learning experience, or even heaven forbid as a way for a person to grow up comfortable in their own body. (neither a religious or political view just a statement.) we instead try to keep it hidden. Much like the skeletons in my closet. It's the same with gore, video games can be a learning experience for kids. Teach them the difference between what is right or wrong, cause and effect.
For instance with the way I taught my heathens, I actually stupidly, took them to the store (not the stupid part) Held open the door for them, and then brain fart, turned took a step and walked into the door that I was holding. My youngest (the demon) laughed, because it was funny, and stated 'Dad, that was stupid, your not spose to do that.' (she was around 6 or 7) People were offended that she not only laughed, but told me it was stupid for me to do.
Wtelf/wtf with few more words. It was both stupid, and hilarious at the same time. Yet even with all that, if I look at one of my (now not so young) kids to this day. They stop what they are saying/doing because they know it's time to stop.
sorry rant/ramble yada yada, baby yoda over. Just wanted to show if you use things as a learning experience, and not taboo like nudity in a game, or blood/gore/violence etc, it's not a bad thing. and can actually while you still remain the parent, be a good thing.
