    Reduction, or even quitting, is a good thing for those harmed by the stuff. I have nothing but contempt for the "nofap" :reddit-logo: cryptofascist cult for having a near-total ideological monopoly on the idea for most people, though.

      Yeah exactly. On :reddit-logo:, the pornfree subreddit is better and bans nofap talking points if I remember correctly. Also lot of people conflate masturbation with porn which leads to nofap type thinking, but it's perfectly fine to masturbate without porn.

        Agreed, but now I am legally obligated to cede the podium to our friendly neighborhood VolCel officer. Oh, I think she's setting up a puppet show stage, neat!

      It's like AA and addiction. The AA system is terrible and has bad outcomes when addiction is already very hard to manage, but it has so much cultural penetration that most people don't even know there are alternatives.

        I've heard of some people seeking AA alternatives being directed to AlAnon. You know, the Scientology subdivision. :agony-minion:

          Oh my god. It's fucking dangerous for the average for people to not know that this whole country is all cults all the time.
