Timing. The neopuritan prude moral panic was gathering steam and people were looking for excuses to flip out over the first sexualized female they saw.

This, I distinctly remember the outrage felt different than usual and it just got worse from then on.

The boomers had sex drugs and rock & roll, free love, wife-swapping, key parties and orgies, studio54, and porn playing in cinemas. Older GenX as young adults caught up in the satanic panic fervor ushered in the wave of censorship and religious conservatism of the 80s. Younger genX got no sex drugs & rock & roll, we got told the evils of it all by our right-wing reaganite conservatives out to build a new utopian army of god to reign supreme as a thousand year reich. Milleniaks, in their fucking wisdom, decided to romanticize and emulate the 1980s, not the freedom, fun & fuckparty 1970s. They were outraged about the pointlessness of Amy Adams in the movie except as a T&A prop that didbt even fit into the tone or story at that point.

They were splitting hairs over why it sucks, which seemed pointless to GenX because the while movie was an unoriginal glammed-up copy of a movie we all saw done better the first time, and the boomers didnt give a fuck bc boomers were worrying about real life shit like the fact that theyre all fucking broke bc 14 of them have amassed all the god damned money and theyre all facing escalating healthcare costs, no retirement options, and an expectation that they’ll move out of their jobs to make room for the next generation. Boomers got real shit to worry about, they by default think all movies are crap bc hollywood just keeps remaking the same formulaic shit over and over forever, and by the tine youre their age you’ve seen the same few movies they make 3000 times with different names, faces & punchlines & its boring AF.

Millennials weren't copying the 80s when they went prudish. They were partly reacting to the wave of immature sexed up media aimed at young people in the 00s and partly responding to perverse incentives created by the virtue signaling pressure cooker that was social media. The fact that their prudery was almost always couched in leftist or feminist language should have given away the fact that they were coming from a different place than the 80s prudes.
