Created a couple of years ago as a Facebook group open to the public, ‘Unhinged Goblinposting’ boasts 592k members at the time of writing.
The team running the project encourages everyone to “unleash your inner goblin,” and positions the group as a palace for “feral homies,” “neurodivergent baddies,” and everyone who feels dependent on memes.
At its core, the community revolves around dark humor, as well as posting random, unhinged content “to your heart’s desire.”
That being said, the moderators and administrators stress that they still value quality. They stress that the group is meant to be inclusive and friendly. What’s more, new members have a 3-day waiting period before they can post or comment in the group. That way, the team keeps what they refer to as ‘bad chaos’ to a minimum.
“Fret not, you'll be a contributing part of the horde before you know it,” they quip.
The ‘Unhinged Goblinposting’ community stresses that they are goblins, not Karens. In short, they urge everyone not to take things too seriously and to avoid behaving in rude, hostile, petty, or catty ways.
Some posts or comments can end up being removed or declined for the group to fit in with Facebook’s overall community standards, even if the team behind the online group doesn’t see any issues with it.
Somewhat ironically, at the time of writing, the group has gotten a ‘time out’ on Facebook lasting a few days because of the type of content shared.
Be honest, how much did you vibe with these memes from ‘Unhinged Goblinposting’? Are you and your inner goblin fans of chaotic and random memes that are beyond bizarre and come at you like a bolt from the blue? Or do you prefer your memes to be more ‘classic,’ simple, straightforward, and dad-joke-y?
