The counterpoint to this is that Americans are too sensitive about sex relative to other things, such as violence, with or without guns. Three year old little boys get to run around with toy weapons that shoot foam darts, and apparently that's perfectly fine. Meanwhile you're saying that a teenager apparently can't be trusted to make decisions about whom they show their own body to. That teenager might be old enough to have had sex already, and in times gone by might have been eligible for marriage. But if someone gets to see them -- with clothes on and at a safe distance -- let's call the Puritan Police and have them shamed publicly for their transgressions against good moral behaviour!

In the USA the Overton window for these two aspects of life have very little overlap with the rest of the world. In only a very small number of other places do you see fathers teaching their teenager daughters how to handle guns.

I guess guns and worries about abuse of ones children goes hand in hand. Both are low trust society issues.

Its pretty simple. The parents almost surely would've been more cautious about their daughter getting married. But turning her into a marketing content mill on the internet was done with next to no consideration of the consequences.

And yeah, I guess if you don't care about tens of thousands of men perving on your daughter every day, upload away! Good thing men are never incredibly harassing or anything.

There's videos online of me doing stuff that would probably end my father's heartbeat in about 10 seconds. I'm not a prude. I'm someone that wishes people would think instead of playing this surprise Pikachu face constantly.

This general ignorance of long-term consequences, and this behavior of men... Neither are limited to Americans. I mean, I wish, it'd be an easy solution for me to avoid both, but alas.
