I think it's because we live in a violent, sexual, and profane world. Some live in a relatively modest version of it and are scandalized by such things. I think the "we" you are referring to, respectfully, is actually this modest contingent. Also, Those who "tolerate" it don't necessarily see it as "decent." They just tolerate it or avoid it completely. The novelty and sensation of sex, violence and profanity will always be a draw.
Perhaps this would fit better in the Philosophy forum?
