not sure if you are sincerely asking but I'm gonna answer your question sincerely anyway

It’s when you pay money to post on SomethingAwful like a loser

gooning is when the joker hires you to be one of the background characters that batman beats up

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that gooning, for lack of a better word, is good.

Gooning is right.

Gooning works.

Gooning clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Goon, in all of its forms; gooning for life, for cum, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And gooning, you mark my words, will not only save Hexbear, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.

there are two kinds of internet users when you ask about porn:

1. "porn is bad, it makes you weak" (subtype of this is the Progressive version, where porn is bad and makes you weak because the porn industry hurts women, which is true, but for some reason these people have literally never heard of any other form of erotic media and act like it's some sort of ontological fact and not something caused by social circumstance)

2. "porn is good, x minority deserves to be dehumanized even when i get off to them"

edit: sorry, that was an unrelated rant. Gooning is when you play Goonstation. It's a good server!

as celine dion once sang, "my heart will goon"

Listen here gooning may have it's flaws, but it's the best system we have.

It's being a random guy who works for The Penguin or other such villains. And villains are bad.

i'm a boomer, can somebody not do an irony and actually explain the difference between gooning and porn addiction? seems tragic either way

Death to America

AFAIK gooning is just like.....spending a whole day watching porn.

Goon is an extremely cheap type of wine sold in cardboard boxes. It's core audience are alcoholic working poor in Australia. It's an industry that preys on disenfranchised proles (and sometimes broke uni students) and their alcohol addictions.

As such, many in polite society dislike goon due to its association with the Poor's and the working class.

Others despise goon as it perpetuates a cycle of alcoholism.

There's a whole discourse around this that basically amounts to "gooners are fascists" but I'm convinced that gooning is already undergoing a transition into standard kink spaces and lgbt spaces to the point that it will lose all association with prior shitheads that have popularised it as a term. Once too many queers are saying it the bad crowds will hate it.

Anyway it's just masturbation/porn addiction and long session edging where people masturbate for several hours in a row given a new word to make it less negative for its practitioners.

Is gooning the pathway to fascism? featuring Dr. Norman Finkelstein

I mean, if you goon once in a blue moon, it's all well and good. Everything in moderation, whether that be with gooning or something more vanilla like fireplay.

It sounds like some sort of weird slang they use in Britain. I don't care for the word and wish they'd end their streak of referring to it on the pod.

In 1947, Stalin implemented a policy in all Gulags where all prisoners would have to sit in a circle and communally masturbate. The prisoners nicknamed the event “Gunag” after the word “Gulag,” but after the policy was declassified during Glasnot, the word was bastardized by westerners until it became known as “Gooning”

Gooning is if those triple screen tiktoks except all the screens are porn.

People are getting big mad about porn addiction. But streaming services tailor their content to be 'second screen activities' and boomers are always watching 5 shows at once on normal tv so gooning doesn't strike me as that odd. People can't just passively absorb screens and their best solution to make them more active is to switch between multiple screens.
