I wonder if we aren't at a bit of a unique moment in that:

1. Norms around speech have changed quite a bit in a fairly short amount of time.

2. For the first time, we have a group of adults who were largely on the internet as young people.

I think kids today are being raised to be much more cognizant of what they post online, (and what they say in general) so we just had this window from like 96-2015 or so where people where encouraged to post just about anything casually to the internet, and yet south-park style offensive comments were still ok for many kids.

Obviously there's always going to be some edgy-kids saying stupid stuff, and I daresay _most_ young people will say something regrettable if you record them for long enough, but this might be a really large cohort.
