Good. I hope it all leads to a declining birth rate and eventually, our economy moving away from depending on capitalism for sustainability.

Is this an actual thing catching on with the youths?
This. Just seem to suggest they think nudity is immoral or icky, they just don't care for it as much. They want stuff about friendship more, at least according to this article.

Hey, time to bring the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime back.

Romance in movies gives zoomers unrealistic expectations as the majority will never know what it's like to be loved by a partner.

Most romances and sex scenes in movies and TV are fucking terrible anyway, so I'm good with this going away despite not being a youth.

Most zoomers hate sex in general and think life is bette sexless so this makes sense.

Yeah. Romances tend to be awkward most of the time. The other you can easily do without.

Has nothing to do with being puritanical, OP, and more to do with sex being so over saturated in young adult/adult media these days.

Its a a bit telling when, for example, that the people behind the live adaptation of One Piece had to come out and say there wouldnt be anything between Nami and Zoro.

Bit of an odd example, I know, as I dont think there was anything in the anime so it shouldnt be expected but people were already clamoring on social media for a romance between them. I think its perfectly fine to start normalizing that two people can be friends without it leading to anything else.

I do get annoyed at how sex and romance are included when they really don't need to be. Seems like an easy way to fill time.

Romance is one thing, and i am perfectly fine with it in media. But graphic, detailed sex scenes usually just take me out of whatever im watching, and rarely serve any sort of purpose. Early game of thrones for example, does NOT need a sex scene every 12 seconds.

I think it's that graphic and explicit depictions of sex can be uncomfortable placed in the middle of a show when viewing with friends and family.

I also notice a lot of older films have really forced romantic plots. Maybe no sex, but there seems to be a need to have the leads fall in love by the end of the second act even in a cheesy monster movie.

You may have hit a really good point in that a lot of younger people are still living at home way longer.

Sex scenes are just filler that take away time from advancing the storyline.
