I keep wondering if there's a regular reoccurrence of certain moral panics throughout human history. This one is a rerun of the same one from the 1990's (see "cancellation" and "political correctness" in higher education contexts), and it seems to coincide with nostalgia for the same period as Gen Y members are moving towards middle age, a period when political attitudes typically mutate towards conservation of the idealized youth. In this case, the representative "edgy" and "cool" dialectic, Gen X platitudic era-appropriate constants, typically disdainful of any perceived puritanical emanations.
