It's interesting. In the days since the election my Threads feed has been dominated by posts claiming that your experience means you wrote Project 2025, you are a misogynist, Nazi, etc. You aren't following the Science. 9 out of 10 neuroscientists agree, the smooth flavor of OF isn't just tasty, it's better for you! It's just your hate that makes you see these negative consequences.

can you provide links to these posts?
I've started a project of saving some topics on social media across networks, specifically because people are out of touch about the contentious things other people see

I haven't added these kinds of topics to the list but if there's interest I'll start

this seems like it might be useful!
If this were social media I would just screenshot it for you. There are also people posting more I guess, substantial criticisms of Project 2025, for example. I'm not sure what you're after, but my point is merely to relay the rhetoric. I'm only trying to reflect the climate, which should be easy enough to infer. Another thing I would cross reference this article and the zeitgeist with would be the Kinsey Report. Sex maniacs everywhere! This is just how humans are! Well, yeah, with that sample set. I'll stop short of any potential implications of Kinsey, et al, or asking 'why is so much of it free?' which might introduce analogies to vice or drug pushing, etc, and therefore intentional subversion. Whatever consenting adults want to do with themselves or each other is up to them, IMHO. However I think it's silly to talk past people with traditional values. I sincerely hope it isn't 'a tell' to call them fascists for simply not wanting their kids exposed to hypersexuality, etc. We had that happen once in society already and it didn't end well for my people.

I think many of us don't encounter that rhetoric in our own lives or in the lives of those we connect with, even those of us that are open about our own traditionalist or radical ideas.

So people are asking for the opprtunity to see where you're encountering it, so we can start to understand why you (some) seem so beseiged by it while others are completely oblivious and don't encounter it at all.

It seems like you're taking the vitriol and rhetoric for granted in a way that some of us can't immediately relate to, and that kind of thing makes people curious. It's clearly not a universal experience, so what's making it so different for you than for some of the rest of us?

Do you have a link where someone said 'porn make me unproductive and unhappy and I cut it from my life' or similar and another responded to him any of the word you say? Any link to that thread post?

People are just plain weird if you're saying the truth. They should just read more and write less.
