Harper's Magazine writes an in-depth profile on the pornographic "gooning" phenomenon

[O.Red]

Nikkas being funny about what's essentially a comedic article but step back for a moment and consider the enormous amount of damage porn has done to white males

Shyt is actually insane

Yeah, but women masturbating together is one thing; we as a society, men and women, tend to find women pleasuring themselves amongst themselves a bit more positively and visually appealing to the eye.

However, a bunch of men, tho, jacking and jerking (pause), moaning and groaning (pause) in the same room? That's a no-no, unless they're closeted or full-blown gay, but supposedly straight?

Nah, that whole scenario doesn't look or sound right. Gen Z is something else .

This ain't a Gen Z thing, white men have always dabbled in some behaviors throughout history. Hell using "white boy fun" to refer to some gay shyt has been around forever

Yes there are videos where women are doing the same thing as dude in the charger but without the same outcry

Links?

 

[trap101-ETHout-Allegri-In]

“the gooners goon to reach the goonstate”

 

[hotbeezie]

I tried my best to read the whole article but words like “Goonscape” , “Gooncapping” and “Wankbattling”.

What the hell is wrong with people engaging in these activities

I didn’t read the are article but I’m damn sure not finna read it now.


“wankbattling”


This is why we don’t let white people invent slang

Why do you only say white males? Take a trip to JBO. Black men would never openly admit to this type of life due to societal pressure to have game and a bunch of "bytches". But many have adopted the incel and "goon" life in secrecy,sad state of affairs

JustDamage, it seems, once had a friend. Or maybe “friend” isn’t the word. JustDamage knew another kid on Discord with whom he’d occasionally trade pornographic GIFs and images. For large swaths of Gen Z, it’s possible that this simply is friendship. This gooner was also nineteen and was fairly new to the scene—he’d joined the community just a few months earlier—but had taken to it passionately, so passionately that JustDamage was concerned for his welfare. His room was “littered with trash.” The bed was littered with trash; the floor was littered with trash. The floor was also stained with piss (“every time he needed to go to the bathroom, if it was peeing, he’d just stand up”), and the walls were stained with cum. He painted his windows to keep the light out; he didn’t want to know the time of day. “I think he had over fifty sex toys: butt plugs, dildos, personal masturbators,” JustDamage told me. “None of them was ever cleaned.” Eventually, JustDamage had to stop talking to him. He didn’t know whether he was still in the community; he hadn’t seen him around since.

Do y'all read these articles or just skim through them?
Who would want to lump themselves into the same category of whatever this is?

What are the chances that most of those weirdos post on other weirdo websites like 4klan, etc.?

Too much social media is unhealthy, back in the old days there would be far less weirdos because people would go out more often, communicate, etc.

When we spoke on the phone a few days later, Gooncultist offered a deep prehistory of gooning. It is his contention that at least one strain of this practice has its origins among certain ***** users, who would play an image- and text-based game called Fap Roulette on the site. (Imagine one of those niche small-batch board games with multiple dice and fifty-page rule books. Now imagine that the rules are poorly photoshopped onto an image of a ludicrously proportioned cartoon woman. Now imagine eating your own ejaculate off the floor because the cartoon woman told you to. That is, from what I can make of its surviving remnants, Fap Roulette.) As for the on-cam streaming stuff, Gooncultist traces it to something called Rabbit, a platform designed to allow users to watch Netflix together, which proto-gooners found their own novel uses for. But as Gooncultist emphasized, any attempt at a comprehensive, linear history of gooning is doomed to failure.

I tried my best to read the whole article but words like “Goonscape” , “Gooncapping” and “Wankbattling”.

What the hell is wrong with people engaging in these activities

Other gooners engage in “wankbattling,” a kind of competitive feeding in which players rate one another’s porn selections on a ten-point scale.

...
from what I can tell, is representative here: someone who identifies as heterosexual and claims to find gay porn “disgusting,” but in whom gooning has unlocked a limited, primarily virtual strain of bi-curiosity, one that manifests in his case as a desire to “dominate” other men in porn-based online trading games.

This is not to erase the many pure bisexuals in the community, nor the unambiguous straights, nor the self-described femboys, nor the trans women of every sexual orientation. Squint very hard—to the point of risking permanent eye damage—and you can almost see in Goonworld the realization of the Nineties dream of the internet as an incorporeal, judgment-free, gender-fluid sexual playground.

Old nikkas gon come in here acting like porn stores, going to the strip club didn’t exist back in the day
Acting like this didn’t happen

Or your dad and grandpa’s didn’t have that stash you so called “stumbled” upon
Youngins just put a name to it

How is this in any way related to a person jacking off in a fukking DRIVE THRU for food? The mental gymnastics yall do to justify deviant shyt is just astounding.

Gooning has made into Literary Magazines

Gooning has made into Literary Magazines

Print media has been subservient to the internet and I guess internet culture for at least a decade now

 

[Majestyx]

I'm from an era where goon meant thugs/gang not jacking off

Breh, how the fukk did a word change its meaning in such a drastic way. I’m not getting jiggy with this shyt

 

[maxamusa]

this is news in 2025.....its a GOONdemic

It's funny to watch people who don't understand how modern children grew up struggling to understand them. People who are millennials and earlier generations did not grow up with unrestricted access to internet porn like gen Z and alpha have.

Human beings weren't meant to have instant access to stimulation and pleasure like that. With sex you need a partner, time, and privacy. Even when I was a kid if you wanted to watch porn you needed a level of privacy. Wait till the fam is gone and put on a porn vhs or later DVD.

Today a kid can go in a bathroom with a cell phone / tablet / earbuds and jerk to porn nut in a few minutes and be done with it. As long as they don't make noise and are quick no real privacy needed. Of course people who do shyt like that for years as a teen come up with crap like gooning. At some point that becomes boring and they search for something more.
