About

The Goomer is a spin-off from the coomer which depicts a person highly addicted to gaming and hinting at them wasting their life when they could be doing something more constructive.

Origin

Addiction to gaming has been known and talked about for a long time however it wasn't until September 20th, 2019^[1] when a /pol/ thread was posted and depicted a coomer-variant in the picture as "The Goomer" and "Gooming" as they are playing video games. (shown below)

Further on in the thread another depiction was posted^[3] which was just a coomer with headphones attached, but it was further edited to emphasize on Doritos dust, skin acne, exhausted eyes and general uncleanliness. (shown below)

Spread

The character spread over the following several months on 4chan. On September 22nd, an anonymous user posted a picture of a Goomer in a suggestive pose^[2] (shown below, left). Other edits include a post combining the character with the Pokémon "Goomy" on /vp/ (shown below, right).
