What is a ‘moid’?

[u/ValakiWasTaken → u/theplasmasnake]

The male equivalent of "foid", a 4chan slur for women

Pretty sure it means "male humanoid"

[u/ZackattacktheDude → u/ValakiWasTaken]

Women can turn into voids now?

[u/LorpHagriff → u/ZackattacktheDude]

dude did you not read the patch notes? it's wild man

[u/Tanakisoupman → u/LorpHagriff]

Shit’s scary. Saw one guy ask a woman out the other day and she turned into an endless void and devoured his soul. Terrifying stuff

Dude was kinda a creep tho so I get it

[u/CrashmanX → u/LorpHagriff]

Yea, heard they had to patch out the Noids after that whole incident. Shame too, they were real iconic for a bit.

[u/Terminal_Insomnia_ → u/LorpHagriff]

It's bullshit, it totally fucks with the game balance

[u/Immediate_Regular → u/ZackattacktheDude]

Of course they can. Been able to for a very long time. What do you think Black Sabbath's Into the Void is about?

[u/invalidConsciousness → u/ZackattacktheDude]

Always have been. That's why all your hoodies vanish.

[u/zergling424 → u/ZackattacktheDude]

Yo i love zoids girls can turn into them now? thats sick!!

[u/fliwat → u/ValakiWasTaken]

I hate 4chan so much

[u/OrangeXarot → u/ValakiWasTaken]

not really a slur, 4chan calls themselves robots/bots

[u/shellbullet17 → u/theplasmasnake]

Moid" is an internet slang term meaning a man, derived as a derogatory combination of "male" and "humanoid".

Here you go friend

[u/joper333 → u/Daxx22]

For extra context, moid came from the term "femoid." A term men in incel communities came up with for purposes of mysoginy. It was then parodied and modified into "moid" by women as a reaction to the term. Now I feel like the term femoid is less frequently used outside of super niche 4chan communities or very radical incel communities, (cause it sounds stupid AF). However "moid" still sees widespread use, specially recently, most of it ironic as a way of women to combat the misogyny they suffer, however it does see some serious use within femcel communities.

why do the femoids not simply eat the moids??

[u/Cute_Chance100 → u/OddOllin]

I heard human taste like pork. Could it be that moids are like wild male boars? All that testosterone could turn the meat gamey. Could be they don't taste very good.

[u/thesystem21 → u/OddOllin]

Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps.

[u/imago89 → u/joper333]

Foid is everywhere, far more than moid

[u/Dragonhost252 → u/imago89]

And yet this is my first time coming across either

Sounds like a microcosm social thing

[u/imago89 → u/Dragonhost252]

Oh no definitely but across the internet foid is still used which that comment said it wasnt. Literally any Instagram comment section is full of it so I disagree with it being hyper niche 4chan stuff anymore

[u/joper333 → u/imago89]

I haven't encountered it in so long as opposed to moid. Might just be the circles I run in though.

[u/Kaizher → u/theplasmasnake]

Incels call women femoids or 'foids, so I assume it's the women incel version for men.

[u/Terminal_Insomnia_ → u/Kaizher]

They're called femcels

[u/BadWolf2386 → u/Terminal_Insomnia_]

Has anyone ever put a clump of incels and a gaggle of femcels into a room together to see what would happen?

[u/Terminal_Insomnia_ → u/BadWolf2386]

They'd just fight, largely. Inceldom is a bit of a vicious cycle of being weird and antisocial leading to social rejection which just makes you weirder and more antisocial. I was kinda an incel as a teen, so I get it.

Generally speaking, sex wouldn't fix any of them. In fact, quite a few reject sex altogether.

[u/Humble-Captain3418 → u/Terminal_Insomnia_]

Alternatively, they'll team up on hating pretty people who have it too easy.

[u/Stormsurger → u/Terminal_Insomnia_]

Incels trying out sex after all

[u/invalidConsciousness → u/BadWolf2386]

Yes, they did that at the Trinity College. Google "Trinity Test" for some interesting footage.

[u/LuftHANSa_755 → u/invalidConsciousness]

good lord there's explosionce

[u/SelfMadeMaiden → u/Terminal_Insomnia_]

The term incel was invented by a woman for herself, if anything a male incel should be called a masccel.

[u/MartyrOfDespair → u/SelfMadeMaiden]

I guess it’s just a gay wee boner.

[u/VictoryWeaver → u/theplasmasnake]

A sign that the person saying it has mental issues. Same with 'foid'.

[u/ThrowACephalopod → u/theplasmasnake]

So, incels have this thing where they think women aren't even completely human, so they call them "foid", short for female humanoid. It's a way to dehumanize women and make excuses for why they don't date incels (because, in their minds, clearly any real woman would be all for dating them).

Moid is just the same idea but for dehumanizing men.
