I don't think it's that accepted. Spread of porn availability is strongly correlated with reductions in sex crimes in all countries around the world. This has even been trialed with child pornography, where we see a reduction in recidivism among child molesters if they are given access to animated CP. If this copycat phenomenon exists with porn, it's far outweighed by the benefits of providing an outlet. It then becomes an ethical question of whether the aggregate social benefits outweigh being complicit in a small number of copycat downsides. The same argument was trotted out for violent video games as well, and we similarly don't see any correlation between in-person violence and video games (actually, it's a slight negative correlation IIRC). I just think people are far too quick to jump to simplistic narratives around human behaviour.
