>this isn't the fucking 60s.

Are you sure?

These things are cyclical. For example, I would say we are way more prudish and puritan than we were in the 90s.



My observation about that is that it is not a cycle but a constant motion. It is a consequence of pushing boundaries. We push and at some point we push back after a certain line has been crossed. We will probably find a balance at some point, then probably push forward again.


I see you haven't been on Tiktok much


I mean, it really depends on what circles you are in, in our algorithmic-gatekeeped world.

There was a bit of a movement in TikTok to get freaky stuff out of Pride Parades, for example, because the younger generation of LGBT has portions that are more prudish.
