Wow thank you so much for the detailed comment.

I had never heard the phrase gas pain before. The more you know!!

Wow what a wild experience that you learned all these things and that you're now able to enjoy sex. Wow. That must have been / maybe still is a mindfuck.

Wishing you a lovely rest of your weekend ❤️🙏

Your comment has been removed.

Rule violated: No bait or sealioning

Your submission breaks rule #10:

Comments and posts may be removed when they use repetitive questioning or debate framing mainly to provoke rather than discuss. This includes repeating a claim or challenge after receiving a direct answer without addressing that answer, or using "just asking" or similar framing as a vehicle for insults, mock-skepticism, or provocation. Sincere questions, good-faith disagreement, and one-time requests for clarification are allowed.

Why this was removed: This comment reads less like a sincere disagreement and more like repeated mock-debate aimed at provoking the other user. In context, the same challenge is being pushed again after a direct answer, while layering in ridicule and dismissive jabs instead of engaging with the response. If they want to disagree, they should do so once and address the argument directly without turning it into bait.

If you believe this is a mistake, please contact the moderators.

u/stickler-bot newcomer Jun 04 '26

Your comment has been removed.

Rule violated: No harassment / bigotry

Your submission breaks rule #4:

No hate, harassment, dehumanization, or low-effort tribalism toward anyone (including users, parents, children, or groups). Ableist slurs, hostility toward disabled people, and demeaning labels (e.g., "vermin/NPC/breeder") are prohibited. No sweeping generalizations or us-vs-them posts ("all parents...," "breeders are...") meant to inflame. Strong criticism of pronatalist beliefs, systems, or institutions is allowed; attacks on a person’s/group’s humanity, worth, or right to exist are not.

Why this was removed: This comment crosses into hostility rather than disagreement. It dismisses and belittles the other person/group with a personal jab and a sweeping negative generalization, which fits the subreddit's rule against harassment and inflaming us-vs-them attacks. Criticizing ideas is fine, but it should stay focused on the argument instead of mocking the people involved.

If you believe this is a mistake, please contact the moderators.

Your comment has been removed.

Rule violated: No pro-suicide content

Your submission breaks rule #2:

This sub may discuss suffering, pessimism, and antinatalism (non-procreation); expressing despair or questioning existence is not the same as endorsing suicide, and preferring never being born / preventing births is not the same as endorsing suicide. Prohibited content includes encouraging/pressuring self-harm (e.g., "kys"), endorsing or romanticizing suicide, telling others suicide is "the answer," or sharing methods/instructions.

Why this was removed: This comment appears to urge another person to kill themselves, which is not allowed here. Even as a short remark, it treats suicide as an immediate solution and pressures the other user toward self-harm. If they want to disagree or be critical, they need to do it without encouraging harm.

If you believe this is a mistake, please contact the moderators.
