I pretty much agree with you, plus there's like this weird double standard with girls in media that I see. In public media like television and movies, they rarely get the bloody, serious action/deaths guys get, or it's offscreen. In more private media, stuff like rape porn and girl guro is a huge market.
I don't really know why, though. Maybe because guys can just do whatever and it's expected for them to be involved with blood and guts and action, but it's more taboo when it's girls? The more taboo something is, the less it appears in public media and the more it appears in private media, maybe?
So, social norms, probably.
