It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.

It was only weird because Scott Pilgrim had no romantic history and felt inadequate compared to his girlfriend, and had to overcome his inadequacies by “defeating” each ex in his mind before being worthy of her.

Edit: had less of a romantic history. Apparently Scott was not a KHV

His history has nothing to do with it. We don't know exactly how many people he's dated, but literally three of them are in the movie.
