What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or maybe even the next 50 years?

Human genetic modifications for improved physical/mental/emotional performance and aesthetics reasons. I’m sure furries will get what they want someday.

As long as it doesn’t lead to the eugenics wars.

It will.

People need to stop seeing history as something we get to design.

obligatory owo uwu

however, this stuff “still” in Star Trek is somewhat taboo. I know, it’s just pure fiction fron the 60’s-80’s, but the image of the future it depicta feels strangely OK even today.
