The goblins maintain a running list of things forbidden is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

forbidden is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. forbidden is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
