An objective perspective on why people may view pornography as a legitimate form of commerce and socially acceptable despite its association with sexual exploitation, abuse, and rape.

Firstly, some people may view pornography as a form of free speech and expression, protected under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. They may argue that consenting adults have the right to engage in the production and consumption of pornography without interference from the government or society.

Secondly, pornography has become normalized in many cultures and societies, especially in Western countries. It is readily available through the internet and various media outlets, and its consumption is often viewed as a harmless and private activity.

Additionally, the pornographic industry is a significant part of the global economy, generating billions of dollars in revenue annually. Some people may view it as a legitimate form of commerce that provides employment and contributes to economic growth.

Moreover, the association between pornography and sexual exploitation, abuse, and rape is not always clear or acknowledged by everyone. Some people may view pornography as a consensual activity between adults and fail to recognize the potential harm it can cause.

Lastly, there is a lack of education and awareness about the negative impacts of pornography, including its role in driving sex trafficking and promoting the commercial sexual exploitation of women and children. Many people may not understand the connection between pornography and sexual exploitation, leading them to view it as socially acceptable.

In summary, people may view pornography as a legitimate form of commerce and socially acceptable due to factors such as free speech and expression, normalization, economic benefits, lack of awareness about its negative impacts, and a failure to recognize its connection to sexual exploitation.
