Is that what it means? Not sure if I’m out of touch, or just successfully avoiding cesspits.

I’ve only seen that word used in hate groups, weird to see someone using it as a descriptor

Yeah, I didn’t heed a user’s warning and decided to check out a link to a site I won’t name. Scary stuff, it’s 4chan-esque and they have a dedicated channel for finding and attacking/doxxing people

Technically yes, but not in the modern sense of the word, which it predates. It's a reference to SomethingAwful users, who were called goons.

You gave to understand that trans 4chan is a self hate group

4-Chan is a self-hate group. It’s full of people using slurs to refer to themselves, so I’m not sure you can really call this a non-cruel context

Definitely, however the slurs might help anons cope and not hate each other. It‘s this phenomenon of alt-right thinktanks needing a common enemy, but in this case there is mutual self-depreciation and it works because everyone is anonymous and shares intimate thoughts. Wouldn‘t work in other forms of social media though, there it is PC speech or utter hatred.

It’s 4chan.
That board is full of extremely toxic “do I pass threads” which are all about tearing each other down as a self hate ritual.
Also, only binary MTF’s are welcome. Very hostile to FTM and non-binary people.

That’s the case in some spaces, but no they’re just really toxic to each other. It’s deeper than the slurs, they actively foster body image issues among each other and other mutually destructive behaviors in a way that’s been compared to how incels do. It’s a hub of masochistic epistemology
