My figure from Gallup data made with Stata

Wow. The only one I find truly surprising is the married affair. I wonder if there is a divide between:

"I think my having an affair while married is morally acceptable."

Vs

"I think my spouse having a married affair is morally acceptable."

Vs

"I think others that are not me or my spouse having married affairs is morally acceptable."

I suspect that there is a lot of, "My married affair is the only morally acceptable one because I have good reasons for it while others are just cheaters."

Isn't that the case for pretty much all of American history?

This is definitely not almost everything. Even in the categories you have shown, some of the lines stay approximately the same compared to the level of acceptance in 2001.

This isn’t necessarily a good thing. … People may be shell-shocked from pandemic, political & ideology division, anti-intellectualism and social media warping our sensibilities.

Nice. But the vertical dots should not extend below zero nor above 100 since data cannot go there.

Idk, I mean I know someone who’s parents were furriers and they said they basically closed up shop after the 08 recession. They just do storage and reconditioning now as new fur sales have basically no demand.

Is there a category for "It's none of my fucking business what people do privately?"

I have a guess. The Trump- Stormy Daniels thing and all the trump supporters at that time decided there is nothing wrong with porn. What do I have to support this? Absolutely nothing.

You could say the same on most of these. Like Polygamy.

"Suuuure, it's fine -- I want 6 wives! Sounds good to me!"

yet if there was someone on their street who was married to half a dozen attractive people, while they couldn't get a date you know they'd be complaining to everyone about how it's all that person's fault for stealing all their womens.

The correlating decline of society is entirely coincidental. Pay no attention.

Rain water is no longer safe for human consumption as of last year and may some day be unsafe for agriculture. Some consider this a good thing. I disagree with these people. Water, air, and land belong to the earth and access should be human rights. Yes having contaminated water means you now have to purify it and sell it rather than just use wells or irrigate with river water and this is “good for the economy” because it “creates jobs” and profit but to me this is dystopian.

The title is so deceiving. Interesting data but the title ruined the post.

Judging by the past two years it seems that more people are just fine with treason. Especially if their party is the one doing the insurrection.

People are okay with the idea of polygamy because they are ignorant and think of consenting orgy. The reality is a very sexist system that devalues women mostly. Ironically it is less condemned today in the face of increasing girl power.

I don’t know, could be a stereotype thinking that history is always going “forwards” and more enlightened. Sure, n general it is, but in the last 200 years specifically? Maybe there was a decade in the 1700s where people became more puritan than their grandparents. Maybe a religious revival or a moral panic or a new pseudoscientific understand of cheating

Surprised at how low pornography is and that animal fur hasn't gone down recently.

Why such a short time period? Seems pretty incomplete dataset if ask me.

Fur and gambling are the only two that I see an issue with. In both cases it's less that individuals shouldn't engage in it and more that the industrialization of it is horrific and destructive.

I think that's in part to the success of Sister Wives. They do paint it in a very positive manner even if it is in the respect of a fundamentalist Mormon family. My wife loves that show. I respect their religious freedom, but it's a shit show for me.

I'm OK with Polygamy as long as all members of the relationship are happy and no one person has say over the others in the relationship.

Homosexuals are almost as unaccepted as unmarried hetero sex. That's surprising for me.

That’s now how I’d describe the info presented. They seem to be areas that still aren’t accepted. Married affairs being noteworthy.

As a foreigner, this looks awful to me. More than half the americans think a person should have sex for a first time in his twenties. And more than one in four think sex shouldn't happen out of marriage? It's like noone actually considers how this affects ones self esteem, motivation to socialise, skills e.t.c.
No wonder why there are groups on reddit for pickuplinery and douschebaggery and how life for men before 30 sucks. And only like 30 percent approve pornography? This a seriously sexually repressed culture... I am at the same time disgusted and sad...
