    Sure, they take years to ban things like r/jailbait and all those fascist subs, but people with rooms to jerk off in a step too far.

    I have zero interest one way or another in people who have the resources to devote a space to this, or the ego to want to share that space. It’s a completely foreign interest to me. But to ban people on the internet for being sexual in a way you don’t understand is equally beyond me.

    Is that false flag operation r/AgainstHateSubreddits still operating?

    So obviously I’m an idiot, I thought GoonCaves was the group people posted pictures of computer rooms overflowing with empty coke bottles, cigarette butts, fast food containers, and the occasional piss jug. What group am I thinking of?

    EDIT: NeckbeardNests, that’s what I was thinking of. Now see, that’s just wholesome internet content.

    Some go as far as to define themselves as ‘pornosexuals,’ people with a sexual preference for porn over real-life sex.”

    Y’all motherfuckers need Jesus.

    noooo, that used to be my favorite subreddit to scroll with my husband and go “What the hell is wrong with these people!”

    They had this great elitism about how a proper Goon setup needs as many monitors as possible, which is such an arbitrary thing to get hung up on when your hobby is watching porn all day. It was fascinating to watch!

    arranging gooning meetups

    What?

    “Gooning is a flow state: an extended edging session marked by mindlessness, loss of control, and total surrender,”

    I had to stop reading this shit. I can’t believe there’s an article about it. I guess 404 can go ahead and go bankrupt, fuck off.

    Edit, to be fair, it was a quote from a Vice article.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the ban was a pretext and the sub was just something admins found objectionable for their own reasons. Like as long as mods remove material and users when an issue is brought to their attention then the sub should be fine.

      The fact they don’t know why it happened is telling that they weren’t given a real chance to correct the issue. Just centralised social media things I guess.

        I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don’t want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.

          Being a gooner is a significantly more worthwhile investment of your limited time on this earth than being a reddit admin imho.

              I believe the admins do get paid. It’s the mods that were fucked over here that don’t get paid. I was really talking about your one’s overall contribution to humanity.

              EDIT: I didn’t like how personal this sounded, it wasn’t meant to.

    I had to websearch the term to know what they were talking about. Pfft, internet oddities.

    Case in point. At least some side is lying here; either the people from r/gooncaves or the Reddit administration. And given their modus operandi I’m placing my bets on the admins lying.

    Frankly, at this rate someone might end suing Reddit for libel in those ban messages. I think that it deserves it.
