"Goon bait" refers to content, typically images or videos of women, that is designed to trigger 'gooning' (a slang term for a specific type of obsessive, trance-like masturbation). The term is highly derogatory and is often used to criticize media that heavily fetishizes specific demographics, such as alternative or Asian women, for a male audience. It implies that the content lacks substance and exists solely to cater to low-brow sexual impulses. In social commentary, it is used to call out the objectification of women in online subcultures.
