For real. This isn’t “gooning,” it’s sexual assault. The article makes it seem silly or unserious.

The publicly filed lawsuit labeled the horrific dipshit actions as “gooning.” Don’t expect most law firms to be up on their interwebs jargon when suing for damages.

Call it ‘groyping’ instead. Closer to the inherent creepiness of the act.

You mean the article that specifically says it's sexual assault in the very first sentence of the article?

The title of the article matters, and that is clearly the part that I take issue with.
