    It used to be called Movember and was meant to highlight mens sexual health. Testicular and prostate cancer.

    Not ejaculating can increase the risk of prostate cancer and reduces the chance of you spotting testicular cancer lumps.

    So people have switched from a healthy activity and awareness campaign to a stupid, unhealthy and pointless campaign.

    Well done.

      They’re different things. Movember still exists. NNN started as a meme evolving from the nofap movement only because of alliteration.

      I quite liked the idea of Movember when I was younger, it seemed like a neat idea to grow a mustache over the month with some of your homies.

      Nowadays I have a beard thanks to the lockdowns and the reduced shame of it looking weird at the start so no need for Movember anymore.

      And it seems to be part of this strange anti-pleasure right wing campaign to use youtube to brainwash gen alpha into being obsessively homophobic in the most petty and pathetic way possible to the point that people start thinking YOU’RE gay, and have fragile masculinity by dividing 50% of the human population into greek letter categories unironically, setting things up so they’re guaranteed to become incels due to the romanticization of sexual ignorance and really long abstinence periods, so they can then get rich blaming their inability to get laid on something something gays something something feminazis™ to get them riled up and more importantly get their paranoid karen moms to donate to their incel cults.
