You were comparing violence on TV to nudity and I'm saying that subject really doesn't have much merit when it comes to comes to a discussion about ****.
You know that x-rated
**** is now available without even subscribing to a
**** channel, right? It's on the movie channels overnight.
Violence on TV is simulated and often not gory unless specified as adult content.
Violence in the Sopranos and similar shows can be VERY graphic, very realistic, and very bloody.
Another comparison would be horror movies, where they work very hard to make them as violently gory as possible, with decapitations, disembowelments, etc. People will let their kids go to see that but be horrified at a mild
**** movie. I still remember one movie - don't even remember the name, where a woman had her entire skin torn off, to hang there like a fleshy doll, screaming... I don't remember any
**** movies I saw when younger, though. They didn't leave much of an impression.
