Stamets [Mirror]I mean Locktober is the one to do anyway
Grammaton ClericIs NNN an incel thing? No way people in relationships are doing this dumb shit š
NeatoYeah kinda. It has roots in christian fanaticism where masturbation=bad. It also had some roots in faux masculinity stuff like how they said not masturbating increases testosterone (it doesn't). It's one of those things where on the surface it may seem silly and goofy but if you delve down deep enough you get bad shit.
Itās one of those things where on the surface it may seem silly and goofy but if you delve down deep enough you get bad shit.
To make it abundantly clear, No Nut November was always a satirical thing. Thatās how it was intended to start with and it didnāt have any of that masculinity nonsense attached to it. After it started getting traction though people started injecting in all kinds of insanity into it and it almost got completely co-opted by extreme far-right nutjobs. Rolling Stone even put out an article saying as much.
JoseSomebody told me it was to create awareness of testicular and prostate cancer. I know itās also a fetish thing in the kink community (those wearing chastity devices).
It was used as a method to promote awareness but that wasnāt the original intent. It was just simply a joke that got insanely out of hand. The Chastity thing youāre talking about is actually an October thing called Locktober. Some people do carry over into November but the kink community in general uses October.
nickwitha_k (he/him)Yeah. I might not be into the kink but, I can respect that people are doing Locktober for safe, sane, and consentual pleasure-related reasons. NNN was a joke originally (like the āfap rouletteā challenges of yore) but definitely subverted for some pretty nefarious reasons, using shame and sexual frustration to try to radicalize people into right-wing misogyny and violence.
Itās really fucking weird.
Yep. Iāve not known anyone, myself included, to do Locktober for some awful reasons. No Nut November just got out of hand and next thing you know you have extremist figures going mental.
Wasnāt No Shave November the movement that was supposed to bring cancer awareness?
Correctamundo. No idea why I said that but yeah, youāre right.
CylusthevirusThanks, 4Chan. Turns out there ARE consequences to certain varieties of edgy humor when you don't know how batshit insane the other people on your website are.
āItās just a joke bro stop calling this community bigotedā is basically the end goal of all right wing infiltration. They want to drive a wedge in a community and hiding behind humor that isnāt actually humor is incredibly powerful.
Only reason Iām interested in NNN is because I started a race against some random dude on reddit on who can lose the fastest. Iām still record holder.
the_donald was also āalwaysā a satirical thing. Look how that went.
Iām not saying it didnāt change. Just saying that its initial reasoning and popularity wasnāt insidious.
The origins are irrelevant because that joke is dead and now itās just a disgusting movement of incels
I mean the origins are relevant when the person I was directly responding to originally did not make that distinction. Even if we were talking in the broader sense, the origins ALWAYS matter because it can tell you a lot about how things progress and change. The interactions with various different groups or variables. Iām going to go ahead and make sure Iām at least aware of their origins so I can say that iām educated on the subject instead of blindly stumbling around sharing misinformation.
Also, maybe donāt jump into the middle of someone elses conversation and then try to dictate what is and isnāt relevant to it. You are not part of it and you do not get a say. Iām out.
2 short sentences is exhausting for you?
One of the most valuable lessons of the internet age is the death of satire. Nothing is too stupid and ridiculous to not accidentally get true believers if you keep the joke running
e.g. flat earth
nutjobs
But itās supposed to be no nut Novemberā¦
Watch them eventually try to seriously attempt no pee January
Dickless December. Absolutely no use of your Weiner.
