What a perfect example of how sexuality is suppressed, controlled

You reminded me of a post I saw in r/catholicism. OP wanted to stop masturbating, but wasn't able to overcome the urge and felt very bad about it, knowing it was wrong, and was asking advice. All the comments were in the line of "Just trust and submit to Jesus and he'll help you".

WTF... I felt bad for OP and other people in a situation like that.

    The subtext there is basically that if you're still not able to shake the habit, you haven't trusted or prayed enough, and that's why Jesus isn't helping.

    It's like people who reply "rtfm", except these people actually think they are helping, while the rtfm replier just thinks the question asker isn't worthy of their knowledge (or wants to hide that they don't know while maintaining their "I am wise" persona).

    Sometimes RTFM is valid advice. Still condescending, but also valid.

    Yeah, though getting useful information out of documentation is a skill on its own that not everyone possesses. But I agree that "it's in the manual" can be useful, especially these days with how common useless manuals are.

    Like I just bought a motherboard and the paper manual it came with was useless, like it didn't even differentiate between installing Intel or AMD coolers, so clearly didn't contain much specific information for that particular board.

    The online manual had more useful information, unless you want more info about uefi settings, where you'll be lucky if it has full information of uefi options for the release uefi, let alone the latest version.

    My point wasn't to attack the people just saying "Go to Jesus" but there whole narrative that masturbating is seen in such a bad way. Complete control and supression of sexuality, where the OP felt genuinely bad for that, and the comments simply followed the wagon.
