Speaking of bubbles, it seems like you're in a pretty big one. To speak directly to your comment. The shared fireplace is now composed of streaming services, news, and social media with its heavily censored content. There is a very strong dominant narrative in society right now, in the US it is somewhat two pronged but those tines are joined at the handle. The Western leaders all subscribe to the same clubs and seem to do a pretty good job of agreeing on the policies they introduce. The bubbles you speak of are all created and driven by the same underlying forces that have shaped media since the early 20th century. If you want to start to pull off the blinders, read Propaganda by Bernays. He lays things out pretty clearly since he was arguing for the use of it to intelligently manage society. If you take each principal he gives and imagine how it would be applied to modern media and technology you'll see things with new eyes.
I don't know if we can say that because YouTube censors some things that whatever it censors is counterculture. I guess pornography has been the ultra counterculture for a while now, or filming and streaming executions. But IDK, I don't consider just sexual material to be a culture. Maybe specific fetishes, like sexual enslavement fetishes?
Obviously not everything they censor is counterculture. But a lot of counterculture is censored.
Sexual acts are definitely culture. "Giving head" used to not be a part of mainstream culture and now it is. It is a part of our language, or media, and most people's private lives.
Separately, the word "kink" is better than fetish in this context. Kink means not mainstream. Fetish means primarily psychological rather than primarily physical. I think that all kinky non-fetish things are bound to inevitably enter mainstream culture, it's just slow because of censorship.
