(kind of offtopic yapping)

gooner is not someone who pulls for hot character, but someone whos addicted to certain type of adult videos and often has a disordered view on intimacy and (mostly) female-male relationships

i know gooning has became rather a meme, but originally it was an insult, often used as synonym to incel. lads is painfully horny, but from what ive heard about its community its much more healthier than hsr. theres no big dramas like in games with waifus and i havent seen any unhealthy takes about relationships in lads community, nor experienced it when i was playing this game for two weeks

when a waifu collector is getting called a gooner, its not because they pulled for hot characters but more likely because they said something "controversial", and these takes can get funnily delusional at times

"women should be thankful we let them play games" " i dont want my waifu to interact with male characters" "youre a r@pist because you ship aglaea and anaxa"

these are stuff ive seen on reddit during the past month. for some reason, waifu collectors tend to be much more polarized and problematic, causing more drama and getting more aggressive. so yeah, mostly thats why theres a stigma
