Well people get shot and blown up in pretty much every episode as far as I remember so that might be worse to show your children than one naked woman.
American values.
People gunned down, slaughtered, tortured, violated? I sleep
Single booba? Real shit.
tbf there was a fair amount of bush visible too.
Implied explosions and shooting, but you're not seeing people dismembered with guts pouring out. Similarly, I would throw on Star wars or star trek and seeing phasers and blasters is pretty normal. But if Padme suddenly dropped her dress it would surprise the hell out of people, especially the ones with their kids in the audience. Its more about expectations - when I first saw Stargate this wasnt in it.
Im also a little surprised how many people are dumping on me for showing Stargate to the kods and acting like showing nudity to children. Dump on me more but you all are fucking weird.
Different cultures, the weirdness goes both ways. People dying in entertainment has lost almost all of its shock value because all of western media is so heavily led by American values, and I think that is a terrible thing. So I understand the surprise, but I think the sentiment is misplaced, nudity does not hurt anyone.
