But are we obligated to submit to arbitrary judgements of appropriateness? And everything you described is arbitrary. I don’t disagree people would whinge, (and I know this is diverging from the subject a little, but I believe it’s still related), but how is that an obligation to bow to them?

Tasteful and agreeable are inherently subjective, and that makes them impossible to delineate in any universally equitable manner.

Personally, I don’t even recognize the majority as being a metric to determine what is and isn’t tasteful or agreeable.

I also reject the idea that something being sexual is inherently without taste or agreeableness, even when it verges into the pornographic. It comes down to “who says so?”

Who makes that moral decision for everyone else, and why should they be able to?
