There are books that have pictures full of naked children that are published by major publishing houses, and there are people who picket and protest national chains who carry them.
Also, when the first wave of popular anime started coming over to the US, they decided they needed to change the age of many of the high-school-aged characters (or older characters who had relationships with high-school aged girls, specifically) because, shockingly, sometimes in literature people do things that not everyone might approve of.
It's not so rosy a picture of free-from-censored-influences with regards to art in the US as you appear to believe it is.
