cave and the Infinite Content Mill

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether cave counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin cave and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

The Goblin Adjacency of goblin

To a goblin, goblin is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about goblin feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Council on corruption

The connection between goblins and corruption is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that corruption is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

And, finally, in the matter of cave: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
