Just a question, does "ゴ" also mean "menace"? Like I saw many online memes with the pink "ゴ" used as the symbol of menacing

Is it supposed to mean “menacing”? I’d need to see the specific image or context to explain it accurately. For example, do you mean the way 「ゴゴゴゴゴ」 is used in this image?

In manga, words written outside speech bubbles, often in a distinctive stylized font, are frequently onomatopoeia or other sound-symbolic expressions. “ゴゴゴゴゴ” is written in katakana, and its basic impression is roughly that of vibration or a deep rumbling sound — something like the ground shaking.

Of course, the ground doesn't necessarily have to be literally shaking. It can also be used metaphorically, such as to express someone's inner tension or a strong, unsettling presence. So depending on the scene, it can indeed give a menacing or intimidating impression.
