> The shocking part is how new generation have a fully rational reinterpretation of all this, they call it "ethical sex". It's beautiful to them (probably in contrast to the boat loads of issues IRL social and intimate relationships can bring with them). And anything not aligned with their view causes a lot of angry arguments. Do you have a source for that angrily defended "fully rational reinterpretation"? I suspect the word for what's going on is rationalization not "fully rational reinterpretation" (e.g. "This is a thing we're doing, therefore it's good because we do it. Let's reevaluate everything else to achieve that result.").

I wouldn't say rationalization considering the lack of experience of these teens. Lack of scope in life forbids this imo, hence my adhoc neologism. These were redditors that were unhappy saying that being an only fan model is the laziest thing one can do. That's when they taught me about their concepts.

In my mind anyone can rationalize their behavior ("a way of describing, interpreting, or explaining something (such as bad behavior) that makes it seem proper, more attractive, etc.", https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rationalization https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rationalization), so no experience is required. Even preschoolers can do it. > These were redditors that were unhappy saying that being an only fan model is the laziest thing one can do. That's when they taught me about their concepts. Do you have the thread? Or can you give more context? Were they OnlyFans models? Were they subscribers defending their participation?

    Then call it rationalization if you think that it fits. But afaik they were not even trying to paint it as attractive, they felt sincerely in a belief that this was a great new invention that freed people. Hmm I doubt I could find the link unless I dug my last year reddit history comment by comment. I think these were dudes defending girl models decisions.
