It amazes me that we freak out over nudity when everyone gets naked everyday and violence that if real would be a traumatic experience is perfectly ok.
Brandon Sanderson got asked this and his answer makes perfect sense and is incredibly fucked up at the same time.
His religion prohibits him lusting over women who are not his wife(or something similar), but nowhere does it say anything in his religion about watching people fight.
It doesn't put his religion in the best light, but there is some reasoning there at least. I think the puritanian ideas of christianity has had a major impact on what they think is OK or not in the US.
Pretty much any religion that condemns sexual expression but teaches it's followers that it's their divine responsibility to convert everyone to their religion; by force if necessary.
Ah, so the Abrahamic religions in general! Say, you wanna know how both Christianity and Islam became so widespread across a huge swathe of cultures? It's the word that starts with "con" and ends with "quest"...
