Agreed! Here's a relevant quote:

"Science fiction should get out of the classroom and back in the gutter where it belongs!" -Dena Benatan Brown.

Sci-fi is decently respected now, but some authors have gladly embraced Dena Brown's advice. When writing science fiction, you shouldn't care about respectability. That's not the point.

So yeah. Same goes with porn. Porn doesn't care if it's respectable. That is not porn's goal.
