Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Getting away from the hedonic treadmill can help especially if bigger and harder hits were getting required for the same effect. Having that kind of willful abstaining without the cryptofascist occult baggage of NoFap should be encouraged.
It'd be exhausting to dig up individualized examples, especially because it's been a years long phenomenon, but to summarize, Reddit's NoFap community has had a right wing leaning since its inception, went all-in for right wing cryptofascist cranks like Jordan Peterson because his babbling ostensibly seemed to align with their mysticism regarding "essence" and "retaining" it and how their masculinity (and yes, NoFap is almost entirely male coded as a community norm) was so easily drained/weakened/contaminated by "temptations" and by feeemales in general, as if such feeemales were out to get them.
Ultimately, yes.
I haven't heard anyone do that.
YET.
I have met someone who unironically admired General Jack Ripper in that film, however. Even said "he had a point, but of course the (antisemitic slurs) that made the movie had to twist it."
