    We need to counter them with good, non-cringe slangs!

    Look, Gen Z has some stinkers (“that’s fire,” sucks, and that’s coming from the generation that gave you, “hella,”), but their use of Chud is spectacular. A perfect encapsulation of every grubby, right-wing freak from incels to groypers. A near perfect onomatopoeia.

      It doesn’t however, offset the sin that is “foid,” calling women “female humanoids” in casual speach is dehumanizing as fuck.

        But only chuds do that. We’re not listing 90s slurs up their either.

          Yeah, the casual way, “f*g,” was used, even into the early 2000s, is pretty shocking in hindsight.

      “Chud” went from “terminally online right-wing freak” to “fatass”/“overeater”.

        Oh, I haven’t heard it used that was. I still see it used pretty much exclusively to mean, “right-wing dumb-ass,” but sometimes more broadly as, “online dumb-ass.”

    These days a lot of slang follows some kind of cookie cutter format. Redpill/blackpill, coomer/zoomer, X-oid, X-maxxing, etc. If it doesn’t meet some threshold of social media viability then it’s not getting adopted.

    Chud is super old, the movie C.H.U.D. (Carnivorous Humanoid Underground Dwellers) came out in 1984 and has been used ever since. It’s funny that it’s most popular now, but it’s as old as the others

      We found ourselves an intellectual Zoomer using big words like “Boomer”.

    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?

      Are they supposed to? I didn’t infer any link between them. I just thought they were random slang words from that era, contrasting the different feel they have.
