Is NNN an incel thing? No way people in relationships are doing this dumb shit 😂
Yeah 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.
To make it abundantly clear, No Nut November was always a satirical thing. That's how it was intended to start with and it didn't 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.
Somebody told me it was to create awareness of testicular and prostate cancer. I know it's also a fetish thing in the kink community (those wearing chastity devices).
It was used as a method to promote awareness but that wasn't the original intent. It was just simply a joke that got insanely out of hand. The Chastity thing you're talking about is actually an October thing called Locktober. Some people do carry over into November but the kink community in general uses October.
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 "fap roulette" 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.
It's really fucking weird.
Yep. I've 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.
Wasn't No Shave November the movement that was supposed to bring cancer awareness?
Correctamundo. No idea why I said that but yeah, you're right.
