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 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.
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.
