When the culture accepts something, then everyone is exposed to it whether we like it or not. That is why it makes parents so angry when some new cultural downslide is forced upon us. And look how many people are claiming that they are nobly trying to fix things...by forcing inappropriate images into the cultural lexicon.
yes... yes... oh GOD yes...
I firmly believe people can't allow themselves to understand fairly simple facts like these not because they're stupid, but because they're too mentally weak or afraid to challenge the status quo, which may threaten their social status. That's the main benefit of being an NPC: you'll never be alone.
I also firmly believe there are a surprising amount of people who are just closeted horrible sadistic assholes. They enjoy the suffering this pushing of the Overton Window causes, even get off on it. A lot of it is that the harm will be done mostly to people lower on the social totem pole: powerless little girls already in poor and abusive environments. And a salient trait of a basic bitch asshole is an incapacity to respect anything except power.
