is it just wanking? If so, why are people talking about it

Edit - turns out that yes, it is just wanking lol

Edit Edit - honestly, I find it strange that so many of these things have special words. 'edging' , 'creampie' , and now 'gooning'. These are all very mundane activities, lads

I was wondering if the stuff I made up happened to be true or was just being repeated.

Distinctions between hobbies play and leisure. It was useful for the thread and it seems it's breached containment

I missed it. I am sad to have missed a good struggle session. Did we get a highlight reel?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

i was somehow in both of them, i usually miss them

the person who made the "gaming isn't a real hobby" one got banned and then the other one i didn't look into further because it was mostly aphobia

oh the sex positivity one? yeah allos should be less puritan but we also need to not put upon our ace and/or aro comrades

and volcel-judge keeping out chasers is an unqualified good.

That gaming one is tough because gaming isn't a hobby but arguing about them online is so we fell into the trap.

I am saddened that a good wholesome conversation about gooning was cheapened in that way.

Threads like those always make me second-guess what sorts of things someone on this site might say in complete earnest.
