Is the polyam community at large feeling more ethical or less ethical to you lately? (hexbear.net)

I haven't been polyam long enough to really form a strong historical opinion on this so I'm curious what Hexbears think.

Basically what I'm asking is; do folks in the polyamory community overall feel more ethical or less ethical these days, knowing there is a huge influx of people new to the community due to polyamory becoming a more culturally accepted thing in Western culture and media?

Basically I see lots of new people in the last year or two who "saw it on tv and wanted to try it. " Some of them no doubt are doing it ethically where others are clearly polybombing their partner as an excuse to cheat. So it's been tough to form an opinion on if polyamory in the media is helping or hurting the community at large.

Curious what others think.

They have actually there have been a few shows with polyam characters now and some weird Netflix show about non monogamy too. It's out there in media and the interest in it is growing fast.

Hopefully a positive development, don't trust mainstream media not to be trash but it would be good.

Yeah that's sorta what I'm trying to gauge here. Is it helping or not? I'm really not sure
