Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

I've actually heard several different women try to argue that if a man even just looks at pornography it somehow counts as "cheating". They were all quite upset when no one agreed with them but seemed unwilling to change their opinion. They did not appreciate my laughter but in all fairness I genuinely thought they were trying to make a joke
I had a gf like this, caught me looking at the fappening pics. Said I was cheating... Bout 3 months later I found out she'd been taking dick from 2 different dudes for more than a year. People will do anything to feel superior to others.
I realized some years ago that most Americans view "morality" as almost exclusively being about sex. Raising moral concerns about things like having a job where you build missiles to be dropped on schools is likely to be met not so much with disagreement as confusion, about how that could possibly be a moral issue if it's both legal and doesn't involve your genitals.
Spanking the monkey is worse than spanking children?
I hope that anyone taking meaning or valuation from this data seriously looks into the methods and how fucked this whole survey process is (as you should with any data you're forming an opinion from). I'm kinda just sick and tired of crap like this being taken seriously as a true projection of a populace. I get that surveys are rough science, but the way it's disseminated through articles or comments is that it's gospel truth (pun intended).
What is the American Trends Panel (ATP)? (thank you @TragicNotCute@lemmy.world
Oversampling is used to study small groups, not bias poll results

When surveying small populations, some approaches are more inclusive than others
Porn ranks higher than abortion? What?
Thinking contraception is moraly wrong ranks higher than being a vegetarian. The whole thing is bonkers.
More people think it's morally wrong to get a divorce than to have a billion dollars. Fuck me we're screwed.
I do not watch much pornograpy, but this chart encouraged me to do so to distance from Americans more
We really are a failed society aren't we?
