[UA] MPAA / Nookie

[Unknown VariableX]

That makes sense. Nothing has ever scared or offended people more than 
truth. If something really happens, if it's not just a story or game or 
fantasy or simulation, then that means someone's responsible for the end 
result. Responsibility is humanity's kryptonite.

Well, at least in my corner of America.

The logic I've heard from mulltiple people is that its pretend
violence, but real nudity. You're not actually seeing someone get
killed, you're seeing someone pretend to get killed, However, when
there is nudity on screen, somebody really is naked.
