No, it's not. Why is the media trying so hard to create this stupid word?


My tin-foil hat conspiracy is that it's a drive to get people out and about after covid. Lots of people are still staying at home and want to work from home.


I guess it's a "fun" story to post about. Extremely cringe though.


Agreed. And sadly ironic when considering gaslighting was last year's WotY.


They're trying hard to spin goblin mode from a cute self empowering term to an insult to people who don't want to feed the machine.
