That I, an old person, know what it means suggests that it has already gone from (1) the incel or whatever community usage, to (2) ironic usage by others, and then finally to (3) widespread usage entirely divorced from the original meaning.
Nah you just know a young person or have found your way into an incel information stream. It doesn't mean you represent a large population.

Mogging is gen z alphabro/incel speak for "dominating" another that gets used ironically. If I'm taller than you, I might say "get heightmogged". This is used to absurdity, where one is able to get mogged in any number of varieties, including having the nicer website "sitemogged?" https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mogging

SNL made fun of it: Weekend Update: Chad Maxxington on the Art of Looksmaxxing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XMPLdiXB1k Can't wait till South Park makes fun of it!
Mogging is vocabulary from the incel-community whcih has unfortunately become mainstream. As with so much other incel garbage (like x-maxxing and x-pilling). EDIT: Around 16 years ago I was very much into bodybuilding and fitness, and spent a lot of time on the bodybuilding misc forum. Around that time the incel community started to take shape, and you had forums like PUA hate and other dark corners of the internet.…

It was fine before they got hold of it.
Maybe im not in the target audience, but i had to look up what mogging is because its not explained anywhere
Not sure about this one - my slightly terrible portfolio website that i'm in the process of completely revamping (bemben.co.uk) managed to mog simon wilsons webblog ( https://simonwillison.net/ ) - which is a far better website in all aspects!

While emsh.cat is functional and clean, it lacks the intentional v…

For completeness, x-maxxing morphed out of "minmaxing" in gaming culture. https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg_gamers/comments/kew14o/ok_what_... It was fine before they got hold of it.
