THE AI ISN'T THE ONLY ONE! RIGHT YOUTUBE!?
Hym "AI Chatbots aren't the only ones known for systematically violating mental health ethics standards. Isn't that right YouTube bitches? How about this: You do something about the YouTubers. I'll do something about your mental health standards. How does that sound?"

Try as you might, but citing Chaplin's style is in fact ethic-cleansing the "Adolph" stache.

Ethical Gooning

Ethical gooning is a form of gooning where the individual only consumes porn and other forms of NSFW media in a way where:

1. All characters are canonically (or clearly by their depiction) 18+.

2. They know, understand, and like the character beyond their mere sexual appeal.

3. They do their best to credit artists and other creators if they edit or repurpose their work.

Overall, the ethical gooner cares for and derives pleasure from other things beyond mere objectification or blind consumption of porn and NSFW media.

This is to especially juxtapose themselves to forms of gooning, where individuals that generate ignorance and mindsets that sexualize and objectify everything due to their blind consumption.
Person 1: I like Yor Foger because she's a cool character with an amazing character in SpyXFamily while being hot as fuck. You only like her for the later. We are not the same.

Person 2: Aren't all are you crusty gooners the same?

Person 1: No, I engage in ethical gooning unlike others.
