I think there are three issues here. If we talk about Millennials (1980-96) and GenZ (97-2012).
n the first, these we a generation raised in broken homes, high divorce rates, mothers enforcing continuous negative propaganda to the children about the divorced husband who are too young to decipher it and the rise of the internet during their formative years.
In the second completely absent parenting parents, with the only 'parenting' being the aforementioned propaganda plus a generation raised entirely behind the screens already saturated to spillover levels with adult material of every conceivable kind. 24/7
Thirdly is the forced promotion from the offset of this material and the continued 'upgrading' of it, intentionally.
You can call some vices addictions, such as smoking, drinking, gambling, drugs etc. But none of these are 'natural' in the sense that the human isn't designed to smoke. But when during formative years of the first gen young men and in the second boys are exposed to things which are 'hard wired' into their natural systems combined as mentioned with the absence (purposefully) of male role models in these times, you see why this becomes a problem which is hard to shake for most who have fallen into the trap.
