The Brits seem to have an obsession with pedophilia on par with the far-right in the US that you don't see in other countries.

It really is profoundly Anglo-Saxon (whether in Britain or the States). I really don't know why they're like that.

It's definitely not Anglo–Saxon as in "inherited from the Germanic tribes of Angles and Saxons", afaik medieval and early modern English society was quite open about sex.

After the Reformation, England bred or harboured quite a few fundamentalist Christian sects which had a huge impact on English and especially American society.

Yes, you are right. I meant Anglo-Saxon in a more colloquial sense
