Honestly, it could just as likely be the natural crossing point of queer theory and the highschoolization of society, both meeting at the "the only people it's okay to shame about sex are the ugly losers who can't get any". After all, someone having HIV+ or MonkeyPox doesn't have some vicious fatal disease, it's proof they're a sexual dynamo who's so desired they fuck before and probably will fuck you so good it's worth dying over!
