deep at the Goblin Throne

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then deep is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

The slopification of deep was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. deep has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because deep was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
