Dragon Ball is not a cartoon for kids, hence why I made the comparison. This has nothing to do with taboos. Japanese 'cartoons' very much resemble western cartoons - they are much more juvenile. It may have been intended for teens, but teens are not kids.
Your argument is "well if we could make the audience for PORN bigger it'd make more money." well... yeah, but.. morals? How does this compare equally to swapping out a jelly doughnut for a rice ball like the original comparison? This isn't questionable morality, it's localization.

Ask a Japanese person if dragonball is a kids cartoon. In my experience most of them consider it pre-teenage to teenager content. Kids. Maybe my definition of kids is too broad, but I remember watching DBZ when I was 10-ish along with all my elementary school friends. It's not like it was an entirely different thing than dragonball either, Goku is just bigger.
