As a Gen Z I wonder the exact same thing, and that violence seemsto be better than nudity bothes me too.

Personally I'm perfectly fine with nudity in media be it fitting or fan service.

If something bothers me about nude scenes or sex scenes for that matter, it isn't about the nudity or sex in of it self, but more so that extremely shoehornd in romance and sex just because it has to happen if a male and female lead or support, spends any amount of time together.

I really hate that sort of practice and I much more prefer a crime movie with two friends as the main characters. Over the same crime movie but now they have to be in love, because one of them happened to be a woman. Of it's a good love story or it makes sense I buy it, but more of the time it really doesn't.

And as this is a very common trope in movies, this dose lead to me choosing movie that doesn't feature romance or sex at all. Because that is easier than trying to find one that doesn't just shoehorn the stuff in for the sack of it.

or fan service.

I don't get this. Why is fan service fine? I thought it's as vapid as graituous sex.

Things are allowed to just be fun.

Yes, though the word "gratuitous" is a bit loaded, but I understand that's just common parlance.
