I think the status quo post-internet world is better than the world pre-internet. I think good outweighs the bad, a lot of this though is from genuinely informative message boards and websites re: sexuality which you highlight. The hypothetical homosexual teenager in a small town that can now find like minded people and talk to them about their sexuality and make sense of it is a godsend. I'm more thinking about the downsides of the erotic material being available 24/7 to every person in their pocket and inducing addictive behaviors. The teenage boys that have seen explicit pornography before ever even kissing a girl, and how that influences their expectations and behaviors while dating. The incels that don't even attempt to make themselves attractive to the opposite sex but instead indulge in auto-erotic gratification from consuming digital content (hikikomori), soon to be augmented by AI. These people are chasing dopamine hits instead of genuine human connection, something formally driven by lust/sexual desire for better or worse and it's going to have major cultural impacts.
