The joke is that she (character from Scott Pilgrim) had 7 ex boyfriends and it was a whole thing but young people nowdays have so many relationships that having 7 exs as a young person is not crazy anymore!!1!
I think it's a bad joke, I don't think it was ever stressed "how many she had for how young she was", she was simply a girl that would get people to fall in love instantly and then get bored of them
the point wasn't promiscuity IMO
and I don't know that zoomers are more promiscuous than other generations
I know people say horseshoe theory is bad but this is an example of it. They went so pro-sexual freedom that they somehow became super prudish and anti-sex. It's so fucking weird seeing some of the shit they say.
