Next let's compare dropping bombs to reading about the war.

    Your own example would be more akin to watching a documentary vs reading about it. No one actually dies by you doing so.

    That's not like any of the examples. Someone is equating reading smutty romance to public masturbation.

    I honestly didn't see this going in this direction, I'm pretty fascinated by the reaction here.

    The only "someone" I've seen talking about public masturbation is you. :/ The "Goon it crazy" was clearly a hyperbole, given this posts' context.

    And I'm not too surprised about the reaction. While the OP (from Bluesky, not you) definitely made a brand new sentence, the take is not particularly bright.

    The “Goon it crazy” was clearly a hyperbole

    So ...so was the sentence?

    Did someone take a lighthearted meme community too seriously?

    The OPs' sentence? Yes clearly.

    Yours? I'm not entirely convinced. Or at least it's not only a hyperbole, given your other comments in this thread.

    "Goon crazy style" is slang for watching porn. It also happens to be a hyperbole, since watching porn clearly isn't as bad as jerking yourself to a medical condition.

    What should the non-hyperbolic version of "let’s compare dropping bombs to reading about the war." (assuming that's the sentence) have been?

    To me it appears that you tried making a comparison of VerilyFemme's comment under a wrong assumption (eg. that it was about public masturbation), and now are trying to cover it up by calling it a hyperbole.

    Anyway, as you stated I'm here to laugh, and not to write reports about misunderstandings taken to the next level.
