    I don’t think these words mean the same thing at all. Like ‘foid’ doesn’t mean the same thing as ‘whatever’ (I could be wrong), so what is actually being compared here?

      Unfortunately, no. “Foid” is short for “Femoid”, which is what incels call women :/

          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.

              All of the examples given are specifically terms that have to do with more conservative adjacent ideologies. If the words were things like “bet” and “cap” I’d have a different opinion. I believe you have missed the subtext of this meme entirely.

              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.

                Okay, “foid” ist dann wirklich kritisch.

                Wie gesagt, “-maxxing” hab ich mitbekommen, aber der Weg, den das (soweit ich das mitbekommen habe) in den Mainstream genommen hat, entschärft den Begriff bzw. nimmt den Incels die Möglichkeit, sich noch großartig darauf zu berufen, was ich wiederum eigentlich ganz cool finde.

          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

    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.

      Cyberpunk / Deus Ex imagined Batman was SO GOOD and for some reason they just stopped bothering with it.

      I’ll never understand letting that genius storyline slip through the cracks. That show was awesome.
