The suicide hotline my pal volunteered at trained everyone to pick up the signs of goon calls. Ofc the women got it worse. But they always had to let it play out just in case. You can never overestimate how many guys are absolute sexual deviants.
I don't know how I came by this book (had it free on Kindle somehow, I was downloading what I had on there before the dickhead banned downloads on Android)
Penny For Your Thoughts: Lessons Learned at a Suicide Hotline
The author is a lazily racist un-self-aware lib who worked at a hotline (for money). She touches on gooners. The training had warned them about gooners; she says the workers were allowed to not humor gooners but were not allowed to retaliate (but sometimes did, by telling them the calls were traced). The worst in getting a gooner call (she says) was realizing it's a gooner, because the workers were in work mode trying to help/"help" people and forgot to expect one when it actually arrived; they got sucked into a call like into a nigerian price scam and were somewhat ashamed of the time wasted (any time spent talking to a gooner is time wasted).
She does not say this explicitly, but apparently the non-gooner hotline abusers (arguably mentally ill but never suicidal, calling for a chat) were in practice worse because it took far longer for a worker to be allowed to hang up on one.
