unwilling to look it up, i’m going to assume foid is a shortened form of freakazoid

This post isn’t crescent fresh. It’s only partially cres, at best.
Oh no, kids today speak as differently to us as we did to prior generations, how cringe!
Let’s go, there’s a Gammelfleischparty at the club tonight.
If you think dehumanizing women is just “kids speaking differently today” then I don’t know what to tell you…
The fuck you talking about?
Terms like Foid and Maxxing come directly from incel communities.
It’s shitty but also interesting how these places outreach themselves in terms of spreading language, there was a Behind The Bastards episode on it recently I think
Never heard of “Foid” (nor do I know what it means) but “-maxxing” has become pretty widespread now and afaik even the original term (“looksmaxxing”) wasn’t a term dehumanizing women, just a dumb idea (from a community that dehumanizes women). Usually, the term “-maxxing” is used highly ironically, too, from what I could gather and quite disconnected from incel communities (maybe even claimed away, it’s not “their slang” anymore).
Also I am in my thirties and not really connected to youth slang (much less even to american youth slang since I’m from Germany). To tell me that one does not know what to tell me when making a statement as above is the least helpful thing to do.
Foid bedeutet soviel wie 'female humanoid", ist also eine direkte dehumanisierung von Frauen.
Dieser slang wird auch von deutschen Jugendlichen genutzt, nur halt auf sozialen Medien die du vielleicht nicht verwendest (Instagram und tiktok sind voll davon). Falls du es mal gesehen hast, dieses Cortisol Meme ist ursprünglich eine Nazi dogwhistle.
Most of the english language youth slang stems directly from fascists and incels on 4chan. They aren’t just funny words but an indicator on the radicalization of especially young men towards extremely hateful positions
I said something about that already: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/26760359
I like slang in 2077 the best.

Damn, that’s nova.
My cat is cooler than yours
Damn right, my cat’s better than yours
He can teach you, but I have to charge
My kitty brings all the puss to the yard
And they’re like, “He’s better than yours”
Damn right, my cat’s better than yours

Excuse me, but where is “cool beans?”
Ikr? So lame!
Okay, but where is schway? I know it is technically older than 90s, but Batman Beyond has cemented that word in my vocab. Even though I barely ever get a chance to use it.
I personally am not a fan of a lot of modern 2020s slang but chud is one I do get behind.
Goyim? Like… Not a Jewish person?

I think an even older generation would ut their slang in the strong soyjack section and would put yours in the stupid soyjack section.
How skibidi of you
I still say “groovy”, “hella”, and “dank”.
Funk and funky are still in my vocabulary.
The only time I still mention Groovy is when I directly afterwards mention that I like Kotlin better.

You’re swell
“groovy” was already only used ironically back in the day, having much the same connotations as referring to Nirvana as a “beat combo”
As someone who grew up in the 60s and 70s, i can assure you that groovy was not used ironically back in the day. Ya dig?
I am the only person I know who uses groovy unironically other than my aunt.
no, there’s also me.
NGL I like “-maxxing” because of how versatile it is.
“Whatever” is hardly slang, however.

You should be slangmaxxing
