Taboos have evolved for reasons that may not be immediately clear, and selling content that flouts these taboos raises concerns about the underlying motives. The market's drive to explore taboo subjects can indicate suspect intentions. While not all erotica is inherently good or defensible, the production of sexual content by humans is a natural aspect of culture that should not be condemned. The historical context of erotic art raises questions about societal perceptions of what constitutes elevated versus base activities. However, pornography created for profit poses risks, particularly in how it may romanticize or normalize violence. Addressing serious societal issues like rape necessitates a reframing of how society discusses and portrays such acts, avoiding their eroticization to diminish the perceived allure. The same principles apply to other forms of violence, like genocide, which also require understanding to combat effectively. Engaging with these difficult topics is framed as essential for discovering solutions, rather than allowing ignorance to perpetuate harm.
