It's got a few naked breasts in it, and they are mostly covered with mouse pointers now.

Are many people legitimately shocked by that sort of content in 2013?

Facebook remove images of breast even if they are mothers breast-feeding infants.

Youtube doesn't allow breasts.

A US TV outrage happened because of one partially uncovered breast during a sport event.

Yes, some people are shocked by that sort of content. Legitimate is secondary; if they own the computers you're using and they have power to dismiss you it's a good idea to think of their reasonable requests as legitimate.

Sounds like a US centric thing then, most countries in europe AFAIK will allow breasts to be shown in prime time TV as long as the context is not overtly sexual.

Edit: I've definitely seen breasts on youtube

Youtube allows breasts and nudity when used as an art form - not in a pornographic sense.
I guess your grandparents are pretty progressive, then?
