But it does remain that, these sorts of things do occur, and heavily, with humans. Of course some of those things are illegal, so I won't go into that, but when it comes to being tolerant, it's important to remember that there's a reason why these things exist. They do mean something to someone, somewhere. And to them, a graphic picture of some kinky act, for example, could be a part of who they are and incredibly important to them.

If it's an expression of who they are, and it's extremely pornographic, how is that any different from any other piece of art that is an expression of someone else's humanity?

Fair enough. I propose that pornography is then a type of art. Well, crudely-done art that has to make its point with a sledgehammer, that is. I'm thinking of B-list porn, of course, not Leslie's, though I contend he's making some bold statements with his art.
