I have to agree with K_A here. In the contexts that they are using it, nudity was perfectly normal. Children in Rome, unless wealthy, wouldn't wear cloths until their teen years. There was no point, to warm, and they may die anyways. So I see how they use it to be perfectly okay. But I don't think there is some huge thing the media is after, beyond more realism in their shows.
