Censorship Oddities?

[Gors]

Long personal opinion that tries to explain this type of censorship

The reason is that this type of censorship was built since ages ago. Profanities and pornography, much like any word or custom, are developed based on our perception of those things and will be changing constantly.

The reason of censorship is to make something palatable to an audience by modifying or covering something that is deemed not appropriate. This is actually really broad, and is not limited to porn: cultural shocks such as onigiri (rice balls) were censored, both visually and textually, here and there because American localizers didn't think they were appropriate for the American culture. No one was aware of that food, and thus many attempts to adapt them were made. Of course, profane words are also censored out with bleeps or minced oaths.

Anyway, back to porn. As I said, censoring something modifies or covers something that is deemed not appropriate, and no one wants to get hard or wet when watching a casual movie or TV show. Censorship used to be more harsh back then actually, and even manboobs were censored ages ago (this was the case in Brazil at least). Even a really loose or implied depiction of sex in movies were entirely cut off. However, culture changes and some things considered taboo may end up becoming minor.

I suppose that the reason female breasts are still censored is that it is stimulating to many men (and even women) and it's even considered a fetish thing. Tits just have that charisma, that enchanting factor that I can't even begin to explain. It's hot.

Addendum: If clothes didn't exist and everyone lived in a nudist community, most stimuli from them would be nullified. Much like a button with 'DON'T PRESS' written over it makes us want to press it, a covered body makes us want to uncover it. Censorship is a vicious cycle of the modern civilization and I don't know if those things will ever stop being taboo, but yeah. That's what I think.
