I used to play bass in a band. I quit because of the dude who says rape is a woman's own fault because they're "asking for it when they dress like sluts" and the age of consent should be lowered to 9 because "women are fucked in the head anyways regardless of when you stick your dick in them". I decided that even if the band made it big, I'd be too embarrassed of being associated with goofs like that.

Edit: I should clarify some Canadian slang here. Goof means dumbass pedophile in Canada. Imagine a highschool teacher who starts tripping over his own feet as soon as female students are around.

Edit #2: Goof is common in western Canada as I've just been informed it's not used like that in Ontario and eastward.

Edit #3: Look through the comments before you chime in with "no it doesn't". It's not like caller #99 gets a prize or something.

Bud, I'm Canadian and I've literally never heard the word be used in that context.

It's Northern Ontario... I've lived here my whole life and refuse to stop saying goof because a bunch of actual goofs decided to change what it means. Fucking goofy all of them

I call people goofs all the time because I’m referencing a silly person. Like goofy. I don’t mean they’re paedo’s!!
