it just seems weird
is it because it's "hilariously gay"? so making fun of gay people is more accepted than a full grown woman showing her butt, regardless if it's sexual or not?
few examples: how i met your mother, teen titans go, the amazing world of gumball, friends.
the list goes on, usually the more popular, the more it's skewed in the female genders advantage, and if it's not, it gets cancelled real quick.
animes don't have this problem, they show tits and butts of everyone, likewise european tv and cartoons
example: this is a regular danish kids cartoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LowYG0OArj4&t=8m11s
same goes for live action stuff. nudity and adults references aren't restricted in any way, disclaimer, channel, parental lock. nope, children watch and learn to be more mature that way. and not even adults in america have the joy of mental maturity stimulating tv, hence the amount of fart jokes and people getting hurt humor amount of tv in american media :\

TIL. This could explain why some of my ancestors were buried without much of a marker - they immigrated here mid-1800s but did not practice the popular religion in the area they settled. I always thought that was kind of weird the township wouldn't respect their passing by allowing them headstones.

That could definitely explain it. It was not uncommon for only people who were members in good standing of the local church at death to be allowed to be buried in the graveyard with a large marker. It could also be that they were too poor to afford much of one.
You also have stuff like what happened in some places during the Civil War. During occupation, many gravestones were damaged or just plain knocked down during fighting, to make room for artillery to move or set up, reused for building temporary fortifications, or to allow encampments in place. Sometimes they were replaced with just little markers and sometimes not at all.

I just remember my grandma telling me that since we were Catholic in a predominately Lutheran area, they had to fight to even let them be buried in the cemetery, and the markers (I can't remember exactly it's been nearly a decade since I've been there) were crappy wooden crosses and large rocks. I just thought it was weird because it was only the 2 graves - they were way off to the side along the fence. This is still a small rural community, but just a generation later (or maybe slightly younger relatives), my family had headstones. The family makes up a good chunk of the cemetery now.

Puritans were against putting marks on graves.
