It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The nofap "movement" tell depressed, alienated guys that cutting out porn and masturbation is the key to turning their life around. This is how you can gain back your confidence and self-respect, become the person you want to be and stop being so alienated to everything around you.
Since the real world doesn't actually work like that, I'm not surprised it can lead to insane amounts of anger and frustration in some followers.
Not just turning their life around, they believe it will basically make them superhuman. They think that if they deny their body's natural urges it will someone give them magical powers needed to become a bigshot billionaire or something.
And like any good internet cult, they constantly tear each other down and are told that it is their fault, not "the program's" if they fail to achieve their absurd and unrealistic goals.
All cutting back does is make your busts more pleasurable when you do.
I think it's a stupid idea, except for this one point
kafka!
