They changed the official title to "henchperson" on account of woke try that

yells-at-cloud I'm calling it "goon" and I'll die on this hill so help me god

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Ok but they did this with "journeyman" as it's now officially "journeyperson" and your post is indistinguishable from what actual old journeypeople say

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Just a word of advice, if you're looking for henchman jobs in the area, don't take any offers from a guy who says the job will be "the most fun you'll ever have in the workplace." or "This job is to die for." That guy creates a really toxic work environment for his goons.

i've been on my Hench™ app trying to find something but it's all; "6 years of experience in henching", or "Will only hire if you have experience working with a set group of villains".

it's awful, how's an honest catgirl-goon supposed to feed herself catgirl-cry

[–] lurker_supreme@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

try searching for toadie or roustabout. there are no entry level henchman jobs any more, theyre all taken, and no one gets untimely murdered by wayward heroes no more

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It doesn't help that they don't train henchpeople anymore. At least give some basic self-defense courses, you know?

Me and the boys tried talking the boss inta getting us some manual handling training for when we're lumping 'round those heavy crates of stolen goods. He just laughed in our faces.

Gooning used to be a good union job, but now look at it.

Check out DSA's Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee for general advice on how to organize your workplace.

You might look into the Guild of Calamitous Intent, but there's other unions out there.

they-dont-know They don't know that Gotham City is canonically in New Jersey.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I thought Blüdhaven was in New Jersey

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

yeah gotham is nyc, bludhaven is in jersey, and metropolis is chicago (he grows up in kansas)

some bad writers write metropolis as nyc also, and some really bad ones put gotham and metropolis just across a bay.

[–] Ishmael@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every Batman movie is shot in Chicago so I always considered that to be Gotham.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

gotham is literally a 200 year old nickname for nyc, nolan is a hack

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Metropolis is in Delaware and it's visible from Gotham, which is in South Jersey. NYC and Chicago exist in DC.

"Why would metropolis be in Delaware?" you may logically ask. I've already thought that through, it's a tax haven like the rest of the state.

These are facts of canon.

[–] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Maybe they are building a henchman/goon paradise there

Are there any entry-level Thug positions?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Fuggeddaboutit

All the positions are filled up with guys what don't know what the true meaning of the word goon is

[–] largerfather@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

you’ll have better results for goon on craigslist romance search

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I keep telling my boss we need to hire more goons, but he keeps going on and on about this "doomsday" device and "the world will be mine" talk, which is just killing the budgets of everything else. Doesn't he know we still need guards around the secret lair?! Why, some do-gooder could just sneak in and ruin his whole plan!

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I fear searching for ‘goon’

Well you must not need a job that badly I guess.
