how?! How do you read "if you obsessively consume porn, probably capitalism is for you because it will produce a greater variety of porn" and see... That?! Seriously, this is an incredibly weird read. You are honestly taking this in a weirdly personal way, it's not about you (at least I hope not!). The conversation is about one specific form of deeply unhealthy consumption of media produced by a deeply unhealthy industry. It just doesn't make sense to generalise in this way and it truly, honestly reads as bad faith because - I want to stress this because it's important - that is an absolutely WILD reading, as is your reading of the main comment. I don't know what's going on here but clearly, clearly there is something very wrong with your reading comprehension.

The comment it was in response to said

Pretty sure people would make porn and share it in a communist society too.

Responding to that specifically with

if some people are so invariably into consuming porn, i would suggest they opt for capitalism

when Ottoboy also said elsewhere

online pornography, which commodifies the most intimate and shared human experiences, and only serves to further atomize and alienate us from each other and ourselves, sucks.

Ottoboy didn't say "commercial pornography" or "the pornography industry." If Ottoboy had, I wouldn't have given the comment a second thought. But they said pornography. Period. All-inclusive. Relegating any exceptions to the realm of a (clearly hypothetical) liberated society. As in, everything from the front page of PornHub to a naked drawing of someone's original character that they share with a Discord server of 10 people goes in the same bucket.

How do you read "if you obsessively consume porn, probably capitalism is for you because it will produce a greater variety of porn" and see... That?!

  1. People tend to support their material interests.
  2. This comment is saying it is in the material interest of those who use porn to support capitalism.
  3. Ottoboy's comments in that thread do not allow for any level of acceptable existence or use.
  4. Therefore people who use any amount of porn will have an interest in upholding capitalism.
  5. Therefore, they are likely to support capitalism (see #1).
  6. Therefore they are, as a group, counter-revolutionary.

What is Neurodivergence?

It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc

“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”

So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned


Rules

1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them

2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence

2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals

3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.

3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith

4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Further rules to be added/ rules to be changed based on community input

RULES NOTE: For this community more than most we understand that the clarity and understandability of these rules is very important for allowing folks to feel comfortable, to that end please don't be afraid to be outspoken about amendments and addendums to these rules, as well as any we may have missed
