There's certainly people out there like that. That'd rather chill around in a world or vc shootin the shit/talkin about work, plans, food, life, etc.
Personally I got tired of every convo having some sexual inuendo or things like that being the go-to means of communication.

Combo of things
People being more comfortable with expression.....a little too comfortable imo
Saying it's "in-character" to skirt issues
Groups they hang with
Gains more likes n interactions
Social circles open up
