Relevant: Only to first order. An obvious counterexample is fast food, which people like a lot but generally regard as bad. Same for candy and sugar. A controversial one is porn, which we also like a lot but many people consider bad for you. (Not so many on LW, perhaps.)
Irrelevant: My first reading of “felt preference” was “preference for felt”, the material; I was really confused when your post didn’t at all mention how someone’s taste in cloth would indicate something useful about them. Perhaps I need some caffeine.
The qualifier is probably redundant. For example, simulated child porn (with no actual children harmed) would probably raise hackles of more than an occasional LWer.
You mean, not a typical example of legally available porn. Anyway, maybe we better return to discussing felts (which was also my original reading of “felt preference”).

True, but that’s not a typical example of porn.
