I'm curious as to how and why society has shifted in the way that it has. Over my 30+ years, I've seen a fairly dramatic shift when it comes to openess with language. Swears, while disapproved, were common enough among teens, with talk of sex being much the same. There weren't so many barriers to conversation about these things.

These days, I'll be scrolling any social aimed at older audiences, and there are more asterisks than letters, words changed to hide their true meanings and a general feeling of discomfort about the whole discussion. This applies to anything from bodily autonomy to social unrest.

When did we become so prudish? Is it all to avoid admins banning posts and accounts, or has the world changed? If so, why?

I can understand the obvious, such as women being used and taken advantage of.

Aside from those things though, presuming that all players and parties had given their full and informed consent, where is actually the issue in enjoying it? Why is there so much shame in it?
