What’s Happening

Real talk: People are getting creepy about a figure skater out here.

This week, we’re taking a look at goonbait and RegencyCore, and breaking down the infamous video of McDonald’s CEO barely eating a hamburger. If you don’t know what any of that even is , you’re definitely in the right place, so let me break down for ya. (wild, right?)

Alysa Liu and goonbait In Gen Z and Gen A slang, “gooning” refers to extended masturbation without orgasm, sometimes done for the purpose of entering an altered state of consciousness.

The Details

“Goonbait” is, essentially, media that exists to inspiring gooning. Speaking of goonbait, a couple weeks ago, I talked about Olympic gold medal figure skater Alysa Liu as the hero athlete of Generations Z and A .

It didn’t take much time for some of the weirder members of the younger generations to make it creepy. This is a familiar reaction that too many younger people have to women doing anything in public.

Liu seems to be making a joke about that tradition in her photo, not creating “goonbait. ” It’s not just people online who are all weird about Alysa Liu; real world people are getting into it too.
