What does this even mean? Does anyone remember what podcast this phrase came from?

    I think it's similar to cth's volcel movement, in some ways...

    Porn addiction help groups are an easy infiltration vector for the alt right. "Don't be addicted to something" is pretty good generic advice.

    Convincing men to never evacuate their balls outside of a woman has dangerous misogynistic implications and results. These individuals are now extra hormonal and on the prowl.

    It's almost a type of stochastic terrorism against women, and it's definitely intentional.

    This ties in neatly with the incel indoctrination.

    NoFap type things have been mentioned in several mass shooter manifestos.

    It's also a parody of the "communism is a failed utopian ideology" trope.

      iirc, it went back to 4chan ages ago; the idea behind it was that it meant you kept more testosterone, and were thus more manly, able to body build more effectively, and so on

      I can't speak for everyone, but when I invoke the VolCel gag on this site, when it's not specifically a joke, it's for purposes of "dial that back, please." Hornyposting can push out comrades that would otherwise feel welcome here. I don't think many here actually want literal voluntary celibacy pledges to be practiced in real life.

    NoFap doesn’t even make sense. Like 99% of NF people talk about how much porn they watch. Bro you have a porn addiction not maturation problem lol

      Some of the creepiest people I've ever known in real life talked about porn a lot, especially what the described themselves as violent/degrading porn, and also bragged that they watched it without masturbating to it. One even unironically talked about "retaining precious bodily fluids" as a fine example of failure of literary comprehension after watching Dr. Strangelove, but the rest were early adopters of "NoFap" occultism.

      Thing is, knowing them as well as I did back then, I believe most of them.

      They were that pent up, perpetually full of rage, and had really predatory stares toward anyone on campus that they fantasized about attacking. A lot of "WallStreetBets" psychopaths have a similar energy to them.
