The Digital Goblin's forbidden

forbidden feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

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