    We used to call that edging, don’t know the kid lingo really but they are more pathetic than us so probably they combine this with some para social friendship to some only fans model.

    Oh that was not the question was it? You have 45 tabs open in private mode, minimum.

      Edging is distinct from gooning in that edging is done with the homies or for the homies, gooning is an isolating experience.

      “There’s an expression… Gooning, G-O-O-N-I-N-G, basically it means being transfixed with video porn for 24-48 hours straight. And, it struck me that even though this crowd considers itself bohemian, and anti-establishment, it struck me that this is exactly the crowd that would go over for Fascism. It had that feel.”

        What an incredibly stupid and reactionary take.

        It had that feel.

        Feels over reals I guess.
