As westerners, our regression of the sexual freedom movement is getting embarrassing and its super weird when its not even due to religious involvement.

Honestly one of the reasons I moved to Japan besides the election of Trump (that was the primary one), was how regressive the US was becoming around sex. Mortal Kombat could come up with increasingly gruesome fatalities with body parts flying everywhere, but the only thing people worried about is if the women were dressed appropriately. It's completely whacky and you can't talk about it without someone thinking you're a coomer or whatever the current insult is because you don't care how much clothes a character is or isn't wearing. If you are okay with someone ripping someone's intestines out and strangling them with them, but you draw the line at revealing outfits there is clearly a problem. "Cut the boob off, just don't show it." I remember someone saying that to make fun of Christian sexual puritans back when I was young (80's or 90's). Now it's still somehow applicable but the puritans might also be left wing somehow.

Honestly I am glad no one cares in Japan. Women read BL publicly in a book store. That same store might sell a manga literally called "Big Boobs" and no one will give a shit if you buy that. And there's violent stuff too, and no one cares about that either. My wife has a BL collection, we've got a 2B figure, etc. They're not hidden away, no one cares. Shit half the people who work in my lab have erotic anime figures on their desks. There's an entire shelf in there of abandoned waifus from former lab assistants.
