Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Where's yours?

Because r/NoFap isn't reputable, I'm afraid to inform.

Well, I didn't make a claim, so the burden isn't on me to provide a source, but here's one paper either way!

You are, in fact, making a claim,

Could you show me where?

But it does seem like you're arguing semantics now. If you're familiar with the DSM, you'll know that it does get updated. And the study I linked (and others like it) suggest that pornography addiction may be included in a later revision.

You could argue that "Pornography addiction isn't a classified mental illness in the DSM-V", but that statement could easily be followed by the word "yet". But pointing to its absence from the DSM-V and saying it "doesn't exist" isn't a sound argument. Nicotine addiction definitely existed before it was in the DSM-V...

Additionally, the colloquial definition of addiction could definitely apply.

Furthermore, Kanye West is mentally ill (and has confirmed his diagnosis publicly), and pornography addiction isn't his diagnosis.

Notice how they provided an actual study and you provided links to a book without any reference? That’s how I know you’re disingenuous.

Not that it matters, I don’t need a study or a book to tell me if something is/isn’t real when I can see it with my own 2 eyes. Plenty of people have suffered because of their inability to stop consuming porn. Call that whatever you want; I’ll call it addiction.

Not my fault you're illiterate and delusional, Yeezy.
