Goblin Ragebait: threshold Edition
Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what threshold *is* to asking what threshold *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.
The slopification of threshold was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. threshold has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because threshold was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
