As far as I know, it's still going on. It's gotten worse in the past few years in Mormonism, the standards at BYU getting more strict. And I'll occasionally watch atheist youtubers critique channels like Girl Defined and Paul and Morgan who all promote purity culture. They're nothing to sneeze at, these evangelical youtube channels, with lots of followers and still making content.
That's astonishing considering that the original proponent of PC has rescinded the entire philosophy. Like most things in religion, once it becomes culture they won't give it up no matter how destructive it is.
Why is it so?
