There are many things in society that we see as controversial and not right. Today, they may be somewhat wrong, but in a few years, things can always change. Looking back, things have changed from several years ago. Nowadays, more people are accepted and allowed to be themselves —more than they were able to years ago. So, maybe there is hope for the rest of these, too.
Staying at a mental health facility.
One person commented that as the stigma behind mental health disorders starts to become smaller and more people are open about their struggles, going to a mental health facility may become more normalized than it is now. We can only hope.
Sex work.
Jessicas_Tits_NSFW said that eventually, sex work and things like “Only Fans” will become normalized and acceptable, too. In the end, it’s a way to earn a living and fills a need that some people have in society—despite how others may look at it.
Not having kids.
While it is accepted to not have children, there are still people who look down on women who do not have children or want to start a family of their own. One day, people won’t even bat an eye that women don’t want children—especially because it’s so expensive.
Electric cars.
“Electric cars not that their not socially acceptable it’s just that the average person isn’t about to actually afford one and average mechanic doesn’t know how to fix one or if they do they charge even more just because it’s electric and usually because their computerized
So ideally it’s just cheaper go with regular car,” said TheBrain511.
Open relationships.
While some prefer monogamy and others prefer polygamy, many think that open relationships will be more acceptable and practiced in the future. Today, there’s still a stigma around it, but in the future, it’ll probably be a bit more casual.
Prison rehabilitation.
People make mistakes in life and pay the consequences for their choices, like going to prison and becoming felons. But, many hope that prisoner rehabilitation will be more normalized, helping changed people regain their life again.
Gay marriage in countries it’s not accepted.
“Gay marriage even in conservative countries. A lot of countries still discriminate them and hopefully in 20 years it will change,” said The_Things , who clearly wants what is best for people throughout the world.
Abortions.
“Things are looking [expletive] for women’s rights here in the USA, but I’m hoping the silver lining is that it will lose its stigma as more and more women speak out and share their stories. Time to take back our power,” said bringbackclippy
Not cleaning.
One person said they hoped that household chores and cleaning would be a thing of the past and not cleaning would be socially acceptable because there will be technology and robots to clean for us.
Asexuality.
For those who do not know, asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others or low interest in sexual activity. While many are asexual, it’s not a mainstream label and many do not understand those who are.
Eating bugs.
A commenter mentioned that eating bugs will become normalized because back in the day, lobsters used to be fed to prisoners. In fact, now, lobster is a delicacy and people love to eat it at expensive restaurants. So, many bugs will also become something that people spend a high price to go eat out, as well.
More pronouns.
Some believe that eventually, having multiple pronouns that are beyond just he/him or she/her will be more accepted, especially because so many people are identifying as gender-fluid or non-binary. Down the road, the multiple pronouns will definitely become more normal.
Not giving two weeks notice at jobs.
Someone suggested that giving two weeks’ notice at work is something that is foolish and also a waste of time, therefore, they assumed that most people won’t have to give two weeks’ notice when they are quitting a job.

However, others argued that giving two weeks is a courtesy to your employer.
Virtual reality sex.
One person suggested that in the future, virtual reality sex with strangers will become acceptable. While we may not do it now, virtual reality and modern technology will maybe make it possible to do the nasty with strangers, but online. Like, the Sims, for us.
Owning a canoe or a kayak.
Another user suggested that owning a canoe or a kayak will become more acceptable in society because the sea levels will rise and we will be trapped in a world where there is no land and adjust tons of water due to climate change and global warming.
