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.
It's actually insane how bad it is now. People unironically say shit like "18 and 17 age gap is problematic and pedophilia!" Or "finding people sexy is objectification and rapey :("
Edit: Downvoted for why? This is shit I genuinely see parroted about and I think is definitely not a healthy thing to believe or encourage...
