it is very interesting indeed, but then again most people i’ve seen studying linguistics are some mix of the following: female, queer, alternative, left, feminist. which means that for most the manosphere and its hostile language is pure horror.
i absolutely despise the fact that pretty normal people have started the hatred nazi misogyny speak and talk about …maxxing and being …pilled.
-pilled comes from red-pilled which is a reference to The Matrix, created by the Wachowski sisters, who latter declared it to be heavily influenced by their experiences as transitionin women, so the public using it is just taking it back from the losers.
As a cis-male linguistics student I can confidently say that this is not the case. An ostensibly female, blue-haired, feminist friend wrote her bachelor thesis about classifying reddit users in r/asmongold by language and the correlating amount of engagement in discourse in said community to see if she can form groups by classifying them by language and find out if she can form a relation between those groups and the topics (gaming, “politics”, misogyny, racism, etc.) they talk about.
first of all, i’m sorry if i created the impression that all linguists were female (and the other attributes i mentioned). rather i was trying to say that an overwhelming majority of the people starting linguistics at my uni carried at least some of the attributes i mentioned. (a very unscientific observation over the last five years)
please elaborate on what is not the case.
you mention a bachelor thesis, but not the result. can you give a quick summary of what she found?
All good, I think I phrased my comment in a confusing way :)
It is true that the humanities have a higher percentage than other fields. I just wanted to add that many female linguists that I know are also dialed into the manosphere/incel/4chan speak even though they are the target of this dehumanising language, kind of in a morbidly curious way lol. Many of my acquaintances are also organising politically, which probably adds to this. As for the results, I sadly haven’t met her in a while, I’m sorry.
Ohh and I added the cis-male part to clarify that the information is just second hand.

that’s a very interesting point of view i didn’t consider yet. thanks!
Nothing wrong with twinkmaxxing if you’re queerpilled

ah, i see, thanks!
…didn’t you just prove TerHu’s point that most people they’ve seen studying linguistics share some similarities with your friend by sharing this?
On the internet, nobody can tell you’re not a scumbag
I had to explain to my roommates what a “foid” is the other day.
Ugh.
What is a foid?
It’s derived from a combination of “female” and “android”. It’s meant to strip women of their personhood when taking about them.
As a moid I’m disgusted to learn that there’s such a thing being passed around. 🤢
One doesn’t have to search hard to find these sentiments on Lemmy.
Oh, totally. I encounter people telling suicidal people to kill themselves on a not so rare basis.
Uh, thank you. I expected something way weirder ans offensive.
Um im going to go out on a limb here and say that “foid” is pretty fucking weird and really, really offensive.
Same with “roastie”
Ok now what’s a roastie…
Women who are such big sluts that their labia is now dangly and long because of all the penis they’ve taken.
Their labia looks like roast beef apparently.
Needless to say that’s not how any of this works, but y’know.
Thanks. I think I’ve had enough for today
girlpilled?
I mean those terms hyper escaped the Nazi roots and are now just out there, only related to it if they’re used in that way
