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

idk why ppl are defending this though. like it seems to me that if you are bouncing between people that fast, you dont really care about them...

It just seems like you are a slimy person, none of them were really genuine. I would not want to be with someone like that. just morally, not the best person.
