I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

In America, it's starting to shift that way as well. Gen Z is the first nominally sex-negative generation in, well...generations. They're very inclusive and will say things like "sex work is real work." But then they also seem to hate nudity in film and television. So it seems they're fine with sex as long as it just...doesn't involve them in any capacity. I think I heard a streamer one time say they were "puritan-pilled."
