The problem is adults contribute to turning public platforms lewd. So one lewd person on Instagram leads to many, leading to a lewd platform. This becomes problematic when the children uptake it. It’s not really too different than prostitution appearing near general-purpose places, it turns it into a red light district.
A lot of social media is a sex platform, and it got mixed up in this way because there’s no talking adults out of being lewd in public.

- mmooss 1y agoIt's not easy or sure, but behaviors do change, dramatically sometimes. Youngish people have significantly less sex than before. People smoke a lot less in some countries, as one simple example. Social media is still immature. We'll develop norms around what is appropriate.
- tremon 1y agoPresent-day adults have been raised in a society where overt sexualization has been the norm for decades. I see normalization of lewdness as a logical consequence of 60 years of sexualization in media, and the growing resistance against it as the normal swinging of the pendulum.
