Kind of like how the Japanese act so proper and demure in public, yet in private, they have a exploding porn/sex industry, likely as an outlet.

Similarly, both Korea and Japan heavy Draconian stance against guns and violence. A bloody stabbing will make the national news headlines and severely criticized. Movies like "Devil" and "Chaser" have got to an outlet for a culture so repressive about bloody violence. And yes, I would call all that part of their culture.
