About

Search "Gok" On Discord GIF Finder refers to a series of memes including GIF captions and image macros where people are either encouraged to or discouraged from searching for the term "Gok" on Discord's Tenor GIF search function. By searching the term, users were once able to find a foot fetish image of Goku from Dragon Ball Z sitting in a bathtub with his feet up in the air, although it has since been removed. The memes started to go viral online around November 2021 and became increasingly popularized throughout 2022. Its spread is similar to the popularization of the Discord sex hack.
