I think the word you're looking for is an analogy.

A euphemism is suppose to make something more pleasant sounding. I don't think a group of people masturbating in a circle is a more pleasant image than a community reinforcing their own opinions, although I understand how the internet works, so I might be in the minority about this.

Hmm, true. I stand corrected.
