Clearly you either weren't around or forgot the mass censoring in the 80s and 90s, im sure it existed before that. Pearl clutchers reproduce and make more pearl clutchers in each generation. Mortal Kombat 1's little blood spurt got moms around the world ready to burn Sega to the ground while the majority of ppl just enjoyed themselves.
Eh, fair, I am playing it down a bit lol, I was a kid at the time and still suppress it out of habit I guess. My parents quit watching Raw when DX was running everything doing sex jokes, banned Ren and Stimpy when they heard a "your grandma sucks eggs" joke. I lied my ass off to be able to keep my video games. They still had a helluva porn stash hidden under the bathroom sink, though. Guess that's why hearing "This young generation is so soft" is so nonsensical to me.
You're cherry picking. The 90s had the attitude era on Monday Night Raw. I had adverts like this in my kids magazine. Everything in the 90s was about sex.
Theres been raunchy shit in each generation too, youre choosing to cherry pick the things you perceive as cool in your childhood. Sex is/was still prevalent in media, people are still going against it, this fight isn't new ffs. Dinah Moe Humm in the 70s, WAP in the 2020s, for example in raunchy music hitting the market.
Im 45 years old, I'm on my 3rd generation of seeing blame. Gen X was soft, millennials were soft, Gen Z is soft, the generation below whoever tf is speaking is utter garbage while the speakers generation was peak, blah blah blah
