I don’t think they have. Hollywood movies have less sex in them (though still not zero) and they assume that that applies to every single cultural institution.
I think there’s plenty of room for healthy sexuality and still being annoyed by the fact any leading women had to bang the male protagonist despite having no interactions up to that point in every movie until 2016.
the solution to which isn’t removal of romance or sex, but better writing and characters. Going in the exact opposite of the correct direction to cut all of human intimacy and libidinal and erotic urges from art.
Look at non-hollywood European, Japanese and Korean movies. WAY more sex, WAY more eroticism, and WAY better female characters.
Yea I’m not buying that pretty sure it’s the bad writing they have a problem with, I’d be surprised if a lot of high schoolers had a lot of exposure to indie Arthouse European films like you were talking about but I sincerely doubt they’d have a problem with it.
I dont think the generation that’s been more free with gender expression and sexuality than any other by an order of magnitude feels “icky” about sex, I think if anything it’s more normalized to the point they just don’t feel the need to have it in a marvel movie for no reason.
That and less people than ever are identifying as heterosexual so it makes sense if heterosexual sex scenes are less popular.
Have these people never been on Instagram?

The fact these people are actually complaining that Hollywood stopped shoehorning in completely unnecessary romantic b plots in movies is hilarious.
Why is the women character doing something other than biting their lip while starring at the main character while wearing a low cut dress.
Yes that’s definitely the problem with American culture, they aren’t prudish or sex negative enough…

And your convinced that’s what the chuds are mad about? That the female characters aren’t well written enough?
it’s not the “chuds” it’s a vast majority of Gen Z when polled who feel “icky” about sex and are generally sex negative in their outlooks

Their Instagram is probablly just people cooking bacon on gun barrels, completely bullshit stories about trans panic and adds for “soap but not gay”
I haven’t and I’m not even a boomer, it just doesn’t appeal to me (same for basically any non-forum style social media).
