I saw a guy doing moral outrage that men sometimes goon it crazy style in public.
It's pixels. It's thousands of pixels arranged on a screen that make your imagination see a real person.
When people act like it's indecent I'm always like, "oh no the witch pixels have formed the horny configuration"
Just taking the piss btw, read what you want in public it's a damn book. Stores still sell brown paper bags to use as covers, right?
Next let's compare dropping bombs to reading about the war.
Your own example would be more akin to watching a documentary vs reading about it. No one actually dies by you doing so.
That's not like any of the examples. Someone is equating reading smutty romance to public masturbation.
I honestly didn't see this going in this direction, I'm pretty fascinated by the reaction here.
..to public watching nude images, not to masturbation.
Gooning can also mean "to be in a state of sexual arousal"
The only "someone" I've seen talking about public masturbation is you. :/ The "Goon it crazy" was clearly a hyperbole, given the this posts' context.
And I'm not too surprised about the reaction. While the OP (from Bluesky, not you) definitely made a brand new sentence, the take is not particularly bright.
So ...so was the sentence?
Did someone take a lighthearted meme community too seriously?
The OPs' sentence? Yes clearly.
Yours? I'm not entirely convinced. Or at least it's not only a hyperbole, given your other comments in this thread.
What.
"Goon crazy style" is slang for watching porn. It also happens to be a hyperbole, since watching porn clearly isn't as bad as jerking yourself to a medical condition.
What should the non-hyperbolic version of "let’s compare dropping bombs to reading about the war." (assuming that's the sentence) have been?
To me it appears that you tried making a comparison of VerilyFemme's comment under a wrong assumption (eg. that it was about public masturbation), and now are trying to cover it up by calling it a hyperbole.
Anyway, as you stated I'm here to laugh, and not to write reports about misunderstandings taken to the next level.
I polled my friends and family. We all agree gooning it is slang for jerking it, even my mom said so.
I didn't misunderstand anything.
Gooning always meant masturbating to me.
