there’s no reason to shame people for not being able to provide things that the government should be providing but people need to have private, lockable spaces. like a room doesn’t need to be a mcmansion style Master Bedroom, but like people need private spaces that they can control access to, especially neurodivergent people (as an autistic person i would have committed parody and satire on myself in minecraft if i had to share a room post puberty, i almost did before puberty even because of my disgustingly unhygienic, constantly nose-picking brother) or people with significant and fundamental disagreements with family members - imagine someone in an abusive home without even the ability to be alone in their room with a locked door. I know people in abusive families and some of the first things their family did to them was take off the locks on their room. it is absolutely an invasion of reasonable privacy. the fact that poorer people can’t provide it always isn’t a knock against them but on society and wealth inequality - i don’t judge poor people for not being able to provide clean water but it is still a vital and necessary resource.
edit: either give people their own rooms or give us enough wilderness to fuck off to when we need to masturbate like in the oh so glorious olden days
