A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on frequency

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

frequency 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. frequency is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking transmission. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to frequency. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. frequency has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
