Mahayana can be pretty out there too.

Siddhattha overhears these doubts being expressed so he takes of his clothes, spreads his legs and shows the ladies what is there - and what was there is his kosohitavatthaguyha glowing with a golden light. Then a lotus appeared and from its centre a baby boy’s penis emerges which gradually grows into an adult’s. More lotuses appear, each with a bodhisattva in it. The sutra doesn’t record what the ladies-in-waiting said about this extraordinary exhibition

I don't think it's even that, this is a generation where without concent their lives have been recorded online since before they were even born (parents posting baby names or gender hopes on facebook, etc). They are forced by social and economic pressures to merge their online life with real life, and are constantly monitored attacked by adults and other students for literally anything. Being a dumb edgelord on facebook when you're 12 can now lose you future college or job opportunities. I think the whole generation has panopticon PTSD where the only way to ensure your archived past wont haunt you is to avoid anything perceived as cringe or controversial, and in turn enforce those rigid social norms on others.

Having a role model is hugely important for people picking up something.

Maybe society should start teaching kids to just do what they want instead of waiting for some random person that shares arbitrary X-trait to "inspire and empower" them. Be your own person.

Papers have an abstract and summary sections SPECIFICALLY for this reason and usually aren't more than a paragraph; there's no excuse to use LLM.

Regular porn? It's creator is a lolicon what the hell are you talking about.
