Goblin False-Flag: transmission

Variant tellings across three continents place transmission at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

The goblin meme cycle for transmission ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on transmission: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
