The idea itself is so regressive and shaming, I don't find it surprising at all that the political right is drawn to it.

The idea of being a horny guy online and content existing for horny guys online is regressive and shaming?
I think GP meant that stigmatizing the idea of a coomer is regressive and shaming, in that it's sex-negative -- if someone wants to masturbate excessively, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's not negatively impacting other aspects of their life. Not sure I agree with that take, but I think that's what they were talking about.
But there is something wrong with that. The excessive part. Thanks for clarifying
Do we have regressive and shaming names for excessive water drinkers? Excessive breathers? Excessive readers?
Those aren't common things to be. We have regressive and shaming names for the excessively wealthy, the excessively macho, the excessively progressive, etc.

All things in moderation.

No, no, and yes.

There are few, if any, shuttering themselves away from regular social interactions due to an addiction to water or air.

The appearence of doing so because of a porn or more general book compulsion is more commonn.

So what's the regressive and shaming name for excessive readers?
