A social ratchet effect within a community. A process of moral outbidding, unchecked, which corrodes the group from within, rewarding those who put themselves at the extremes, and punishing nuance relentlessly.
Not to be confused with 'virtue signalling', 'woke culture', or 'online mobs'.
A purity spiral can contain all of these things, but it is defined by the fact that it takes place in a defined community or society, where being purer-than-thou is always being rewarded, and holding a divergent, 'less pure' opinion is normally punished, a dynamic which leads to an inevitable escalation as only the most extreme can 'win'.
Could be anything, from Mao's Red Guard, to Neo-Nazis, to The Crucible, to Instagram knitting.
After Louise denounced Nike as bourgeois, the village fell into a purity spiral where first Nikes, then all sneakers, then all shoes, and later, socks, were burnt on a pyre by the villagers.

a creepy, covertly incestuous ritual in which a girl "gives" her virginity to her father who will "give" it to her husband on her wedding day. inherently misogynist, since no one seems to care about what boys do with their dingalings. usually put on by evangelical fundie Christian dads who "date" their daughters, exhibit lots of family love, and have an unhealthy interest in their daughters' sexuality.
Did you see the Glamour article on incest-fest... er, I mean, purity balls?

a Purity Ring which is typically used as a commitment of chastity before God, only in the case of a Purity Rong, anal sex and blow jobs are allowed.
You: "Hey man, did you see that chick has a Purity Ring?"

A ring that is only meant to be for the wearer, as a reminder of their commitment to God to save sex for marriage. It is not supposed to be showy, or a symbol that they think they are superior, but simply a personal reminder. It is a big deal to the wearer, but it is supposed to be personal and only between God and that person. Granted, some people do wear them for the wrong reasons, but there are always people who do things for the wrong reasons. And yes, guys do wear them, and please, make fun of us all you want, we don't care.
Richard: "What is that ring you are wearing?"
Andrew: "Oh, its my purity ring."
Richard: "What does that mean?"
Andrew: "Just a reminder for me of my commitment to purity until marriage."
Richard: "Oh, well I don't believe in that."
Andrew: "Ok, well that is fine."

Technoquantum Purity is the idea of creating quantum technology in its purest possible quantum form, leading to the Quantum Matter Purity where matter is in its purest possible quantum form. It can be used for quantum computers and for the development of quantum materials, which consequently can replace steel and even human biological matter.
"Technoquantum purity is a really interesting concept, even it would be necessary of the superquantum mechanics to work, we would just need of enough advanced technology for reach the technoquantum purity, then reaching the quantum matter purity."
a ring that someone wears to make a promise to not have sex before they are married.
The Jonas Brothers wear purity rings as a symbol of their respect for girls and to promise not to have sex before they are married.
