Sexual liberation is at al all-time high, even normies accepted it with memes like hawk tuah or whatever. And young people hate doing whatever is popular, so they go against that.
Then there's the factor that you can see a lot of negative things about horny people online. Be it coomers and porn addicts, all those ecelebs who turned out to be sexual predators, or grooming on online spaces like discord. Perhaps a lot of zoomer puritans became victims of grooming themselves in the past, which is why they demonize things that their groomer liked and/or tried to groom them with.
Another rather concerning factor is how younger people seem to discern less between fantasy and reality. There's so much discourse about content with fictional characters. There's whole artists being cancelled and harassed because they drew a pinup of a 17 year old character once. I'm blaming tumblr which normalized extremely mentally ill behaviour like kinning.
Uuhhh Pokémon.
