Thank you for posting this. Parent comment is exactly how lies get told on the Internet these days: write a statement that nominally has a speck of truth but with the deliberate intention that it will be misinterpreted by any normal person reading it.

Here is an article I found about that study, https://www.psypost.org/choking-during-is-surprisingly-commo.... So here are the lies:

1. It's not just "college aged women". The study was on undergraduates of both sexes.

2. The framing of OP's comment ("these porn laws are dumb when all these women are being choked!") was obviously made to imply that we should somehow stop women from being choked, implying it was nonconsensual.

3. As you point out, the study itself was more about sex practices than people being attacked.

Hardly anything is even bothered to be argued in good faith anymore.
