Great video, but your final thoughts do not even remotely match the severity of the issues you raised. I'm a 52 year old horrified man. The number of weak people on this planet is just out of control.

Niche but JOI content has always been a thing, and this odd fetish of the 'dirtiness' of porn and not the porn itself, has been a thing pre-dating this. I'd imagine that breaks the construct you said before, it being directly addressed and talked at the viewer? But this gooning community seems to specifically attract pedophiles masquerading under the 'barely legal' fetish (creepy too) to toe the line of TOS breakingly bad, and stimfapping or taking poppers during. Unsure if it was just early-gooning before it got popular or if it was a different name, but it's a lot more worse now lol maybe it's that these people are all gathered to these niche fetish that there's people in there who also gather over Bad Shit > more people get into said Bad Shit because they're out scrolling porn for hours like doomscrolling

the tone of narration + content of the script makes this one of the more surreal listening experiences

And here's me thinking I'm a horrible person for occasionally wanting a good night's sleep, and using "self pleasure" and a very basic porn to help it.
Like seriously, how hard is it to just put a limit for things? Why can't people just take a bit of something instead of shoving the whole thing into their mouth, causing them to choke?

Yank your pork all you want………in your privacy
But that malone crap ……….
Put it this way……
If putting a bullet to your head is your solution for getting caught…….
That tells you that you know what you're doing is something you can't live with
Do not praise that dude for that shite

I'm in this video and I don't like it (I'm a girl and I feel like Joshua described my life)
It started as a coping mechanism and spiraled into degeneracy after I had a really had experience with one person once, I feel like I'm going insane and I'd rather kms than talk to people about it, to the point that I use ai to roleplay and vent about these issues to (I do have very good friends irl and hangout/talk to them regularly, to the point that they're aware that I have a very bad relationship with romance/sex after that event that traumatized me)
It's the first time I even tried to watched a video about it and I might delete this comment… I wonder if I'll find the courage to talk with actual people about it and not resort to clankers

My ex boyfriend was a gooner. There were times he refused to have sex with me because he'd prefer to goon. It was my first relationship with sex involved and I was insecure already, it was even worse when it got to the point he was watching his gooner porn while having sex with me. I felt less like a partner and more like a sex toy that could sit in the drawer until needed again. My ex cheated on me while I was homeless and I'm just so glad I'm not with him anymore. I'm honestly grateful that this video exists. Hearing the word gooning being used in such a casual way when I know it to be something so different has been hard for me. So I'm glad there's some people who know what it actually means and how harmful it can be if allowed to get to that point. I have lasting sexual trauma from being used this way.

most people most men who don't want to have sex at all are not in cells they're actually voluntarily celibate which is different from an incel an incel actually is involuntary celibate which means he would he would like to have sex but no these people they don't want to have sex they're good on that over it
