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%).

conservatives speak, all the morals they claim are immoral are exactly what they are hypocritically doing. cheating, pornography specifically gay/trans porn. this all mostly conservative priorities, its all culture wars as it has been. thier current issue is being anti-woke.

Many conservatives have been taught to hate themselves and that mentality has been so internalized they become angry at others for being unabashedly themselves instead of letting go of their misplaced shame.

Their minds are truly broken things.

Before you all get up in arms about this, just read the bottom left corner.

As a poly person, lol, and fuck those societal norms. Not to mention, it’s really sad to societally pressure bi people into denying one whole half of their sexual identity :(

I don't have an issue with abortion, but I do think it's insane how more people can view watching porn as bad and not abortions. I don't think either are wrong, but if someone has such a weird fundamentalist belief that porn is bad, how do they not think abortions are?

What’s the difference between “morally acceptable” and “not a moral issue”?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

A divorce could be seen as not a moral issue, but as bad for the kids for example.

These things make me wonder if some sort of bias is clouding my self judgement. Im against the death penalty, think abortions are a medical decision that one should make for themselves and dont think pornography or gambling is a moral issue, but a vice that should be managed carefully.

But apparently there is only a 50/50 chance of me being the above, and it throws me for a loop.

Married people having an affair is not morrally wrong for 7% of the people?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

It highly depends on the exact wording of the question. It could have been worded to where it just asks that having partners outside of the marriage is morally wrong and if one is polyamorous then that isn't really something that would be considered immoral.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I’m guessing that 7% of people have had an affair.

Abortion is a moral imperative in all cases where the pregnancy has not been explicitly planned for.
