** As shown in the second movie, Johanna trying to curse on Caesar's show sees her f-bombs bleeped out. That means there are some broadcasting standards to be met, and bad language and sexual content are usually the ones.
** More simplistically, rape isn't something that you can suddenly do, like killing someone. You have to render your victim defenceless, and you also leave yourself vulnerable to attack as well. Even if an alliance formed, someone would have to be pretty dumb to not at least think that turning your back to a bunch of people who will have to kill you to survive at some point might not be the brightest idea.

** Katniss and Peeta are also young adults when they go through that stuff, and if they wait about fifteen years to have kids, they're in their thirties by the time they do. The brain reaches full maturity between the ages of 25 and 28, meaning that even with the trauma they've been through, if they have healthy ways of dealing with it, which it's shown they do, things will calm down in their heads especially if the world around them remains stable.

*** And likewise, people who have been sexually abused quite young can often have behaviour that's quite hypersexual - so the fact that she has no qualms about stripping naked in front of three people she's just met and delights in it making them uncomfortable...

* The Hunger Games mechanic of playing a sound to mark a tribute's death has two purposes--firstly, it lets tributes know where they stand in the running, but it also prevents tributes from faking their deaths to escape a confrontation--if there's no sound, then everypne knows they're still on the table for pursuit. The Games are engineered to keep conflict active rather than quiet (nobody likes "dead air", and the Games are meant to prove the barbarity of society) and as such, the only way a tribute can survive an encounter is to get out of reach or sight, requiring their action, have an ally step in, or to be in such grievous condition that they're likely to die without intervention, causing them to be left alone, but at a high cost.

* There's a mention that Peeta was in District 12's school's wrestling team. At first, it seemed strange that the school in the poorest region of a dystopian society would have something as frivolous as a wrestling team but it makes perfect sense. It's a way of making sure that tributes have at least some fighting skills when they reach the arena and thus make the games more interesting.

** Katniss can also form a foil with Snow, ''of all people'', as well. Both are the protagonists (Katniss in the original series while Snow in the prequel), both have younger sisters who died young, assume the worst on other people and quite vindictive to those who offend them, their goal throughout their respective series is to survive after suffering during their childhood, will not hesitate to contemplate eliminating people that they deem as a threat, their MoralityPet happens to be a young girl (Katniss with Prim, while Snow with his granddaughter), both appreciate the truth and honesty to others and detest being something that they are not, both being hated by someone older than them without knowing the full reason why back during their teens (Katniss is hated by Snow, while Snow is hated by Highbottom), and believes that sentimentality is a weakness. However, Snow is an elder, charismatic, is associated with water (snow) motifs, hailed from prestigious family, is uncomfortable in the woods, despises underdogs due to his paranoia and bitterness towards Lucy Gray, and would not hesitate to step on others on his way to power, while Katniss is a teenager, socially awkward, is associated with fire motifs, hailed from poorest parts of District 12, finds peace in the woods, appreciates underdogs like Rue or Mags, and pretty much prefers to have enough food for her and for her family to survive, nothing more. And while both believe in LoveIsAWeakness enough to get SanitySlippage over it, Katniss eventually steps into LoveRedeems territory as her love for Peeta help her cope up with the traumas she endured throughout the series and is appreciative of his presence and influence in her life, while Snow still remains of that belief the very moment Lucy Gray left him with no fault but his own and his memories of her forever haunt him for the worse which lead him to resent her by making him "weak". Long story short, Katniss is what Snow would be if he lets go of his ambition and live with content with his loved ones, while Snow is what Katniss would be if she lets her cynicism and feelings of helplessness destroy her innate compassion. In hindsight, his constant antagonism (and eventually respect) towards Katniss throughout the original series makes more sense because he sees himself in her, if he chose Lucy Gray over his own personal ambitions.
