      Makes sense, I thought it was about goons (crime) or gooning (evil goon voice “what up, boss?”, “Yes boss”).

    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.

    It is sooo Reddit to ban without any explanation. Not like i care about any community over there. Reddit can fuck itself.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I can’t imagine anyone wanted to mod that sub, so they probably banned it because it was undermoderated
