    None of those contradict my definition.

    Not wanting a company dumping fucking trash in the streets is not and does not even vaguely resemble NIMBYism.

      You’re omitting the part where OP is fine with the “trash dumping” in the streets of other locales. That’s what makes it NIMBY (as OP admits).

          Yikes dude, you’re blaming me for the reddit-esque toxicity.

          I was using the other guy’s wording (“trash dumping”) specifically in quotes because I didn’t agree with that sentiment re: scooters. I’m not making any point about you, I’m talking about the use of the term NIMBYism. Dang.

        He said he’s all for them banning it as any reasonable jurisdiction must do. He’ll just use them if they decide to ruin their streets.
