What nobody seems to observe is how next gen puritanism has grown line for line, beat for beat, viewpoint to rule, with online monetization restrictions and requirements on all the content they consume. Same way people pick up phrases and ways of talking from their favourite content creators, they're also picking up what is or isn't ok to see and say. What to shy away from, what to restrict, what to demand goes away or is removed from content and gaming.
To the streamer or content creator, it's simply to make the stuff they use rule compliant. It's not art criticism but income compliance. Example "if they would only remove all that unneeded fan service from gacha games chat, like mannn I don't even know who it's for" they don't really care, they only say it because they can't use it for monetized content and know it's popular with viewers, so they're missing out on revenue. Which is why all these content creators are shying away from and treating these things like complete no goes. Things to avoid like it's life or death. Throwing their hands in front of the screen and yelling "no, no, no skip, skip!" when they see some side boob, it isn't values or a moral system (i'm sure most before the regs would have made boob jokes) but just to keep being monetized.
However the people viewing, consuming all day. All the time in the back of their heads are absorbing that as it's a no go subject, it's a bad word, bad thing, it's something we don't like or want to even see anymore. Violence, sexualization, an ever increasing rejection of anything, even the lightest of character femininity showing through is now treat like p*rn, because that's how harshly the regulations on content monetization treat it now. All the shifts into extreme puritanism and moralizing just so happen to line up near exactly with changing online regulations and restrictions about what you can say and show in your content without being demonetization. For the creators its simply compliance, but for their viewers it has become a template of their own moralization. Same way a kid learnt their values by constantly being taken to church every week. They're now being subconsciously told what is sin (a crime against advertisers) by YouTube, by Twitch, TikTok.
It's why you're seeing people say 'unalived' in real life now, when that whole phrase is due to social media rules around monetization. There is no reason to use it in reality with your friends or other people but they do because they have absorbed it being used through all their content, therefor it becomes their character.
They're living their lives unaware they're shaping themselves, their real values, views and acceptability around a monetization system.
When it comes to fictional content, they're not puritans...they're advertiser friendly.

The entire Christian Nationalists manosphere universe is extremely comical for me because it’s very clearly just masculine theatre. Incessantly puffing a pipe. The constant hand movements and vocal exaggerations. The content they continue to make being as unoriginal as an overplayed script.
If you asked a 12 year old boy to dress up and pretend to be a man, this is what they would do. Not because it’s what masculinity is, rather, it’s what insecure men *think* masculinity is.
Here’s the police body cam video showing what happened when a @Hertz worker at the New Orleans airport called police because a Puerto Rican man kept insisting that his drivers license was valid. The Hertz worker denied the man his pre paid rental car because he couldn’t present his passport. The Hertz worker thought Puerto Rico was another country and so she insisted the man needed to show a passport. He didn’t. He is a U.S. citizen as are all Puerto Ricans.
This body cam video was first obtained by @FOX8NOLA.
You can judge for yourself the unidentified @KennerPolice officers demeanor / behavior. Marchand found it to be extremely rude and demeaning.
As for the Hertz worker, she seen on video saying to the customer, Humberto Marchand:
“Because you recorded as you’re not gonna be able to rent from Hertz ever!”
That’s not true. Hertz has already apologized to Mr. Marchand publicly and stated that the employees were wrong and will be retained.
It is clear that neither the officer, nor the Hertz employee, know that Marchand is right: his driver’s license is as valid as any other license issued in any other state. He didn’t need to show a passport to anyone. The officer could’ve provided clarity to the situation based on the fact that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country. He did not or was unaware of that fact.
In my initial report, I stated that Marchand heard the officer say that he would call border authorities. The body cam video does not show that.
As @FOX8NOLA’s @news_fuentes reported, the officer said: “Do not come back up here and cause any more disturbances.”
In the body camera video, Marchand asks, “You’re going to call what? Border services?”
I'm not mincing my words anymore.
The legislative assault on transgender people is a genocide against us.
It seeks to remove us from public life, remove all legal protections, remove our trans children from parents, remove their medically necessary care. It will kill people.
