It's so weird seeing this slur, when I remember when the term originated as a self-identifier for the trans community on Something Awful (trans goons) way back in like 2009-2010. It's like, the opposite of reclaiming a slur.

Also kind of confusing with current online slang as it makes it sound like itβs a trans person who likes to goon a lot.

Right? I can't take bigots using it seriously. Like, you're trying to be an awful person but you're too scared to use the actual t slur so you just say the most frenworld shit ever?

I once saw a comment online where someone thought it was etymologically-related to "cartoon", so I 100% believe there are people online who thinks that's what it means.

Yup, basically a lifetime ago but I remember people in the old trans megathread feeling so clever about it.

This internet lore has enriched my understanding greatly, ty. Somethingawful continues to influence the internet in confusing ways.
idk sometimes i feel like i use it like one when i worked BOH in a restaurant
"fuckin servers, man. can't stack plates, can't fill the linen bags, always need silverware run right now"
I think we have TROONsistioned to other realities? 
Anyways, troon is the word
Btw you seem to be a lurker considering your account was made almost a year ago yet no comments than this 1st one...
