my "where did the puriteens come from" take is: how much is this actually an issue?
it may be a bubble effect, but it seems like every time I've seen puriteen/"anti"/sex-scenes discourse on i.e. Twitter, the purity enforcers are in a drastic minority. there'll be an OP who is is being adversarially QTed up to main character status, maybe two or three people defending them--and literally twenty times as many people calling them assholes and posting that meme where the man and woman consent but Jesus doesn't.
some of the kids taking the anti-sex stances are extremely... vociferous... about it, and there might be somewhat more of them than there were a few years ago, but it still looks to me like a small loud movement, not a big generational shift
EDIT: I might have worded this poorly. I think what I mean isn't "so it isn't a big deal", but "so it isn't something that needs explaining in terms of young people's overall relationship to sexuality."
