The focus on gender and hetero sexual males is strange. From my knowledge gooning is completely independent of a gender notion or a sexual preference notion. These claims are very dubious and seem outright sexist

I agree there's a bias emphasizing negative stereotypes of male sexuality. It seems the authors want to frame gooning in a specific way to build their argument wanting to connect it to doomscrolling. Obviously all genders engage in gooning :)

But it also attempts to critique broader societal and technological phenomena, aiming for cultural critique rather than direct bias. Anyway greater gender inclusivity and context might enhance the neutrality of the article.

Reading this article I can't help thinking Zora and porn might make great companions. Porn coins lol.

actually there is a decent video on the goonification
