For me it's saying, "we can't joke about anything anymore". Sirens go off immediately 🚨

"I'm not racist, but ."

Someone who uses the word "chud?"

* not that I've ever heard it before

EDIT: not my usual type of comment, but I'm glad it got a reaction. :D

Words that used unironically/outside of satire, automatically signal you as a chud:

• Libtard

• Foid

• Carnist

• Lookmaxxing

• Mog/Mogging

• Any kind of slur

• Woke (at least, the word is generally only brought up now by chuds complaining about things being woke)

• DEI in a negative manner

The first and easiest is always the phofaux-militaristic active wear. Its like adidas trainers on a guy squatting. When you know you know. If its an aiport, their bag has just an abusurd number of places to velcro things and a place to put a fake unit patch. Also, chuds mostly travel in packs, so the probability of them actually being a chud increases at a rate of 1- e^-1/N^ chuds per unit area.

See also lifted yota's tacomas with a bunch tac gear, and a big-ol' floor jack the think they need to carry around., none of which has ever been used, see also the F-350, and of course, the all-to-obvious "one dude in a cyber truck".

Any kind of slur

Clanker

Bringing up trans people out of the blue.

"Female" instead of woman or girl.

Edit: as in, where "woman" or "girl" would be grammatically correct. e.g. "a lot of females work at that company" vs "a lot of women work at that company" or "that company has a lot of female employees"

"Freedom of speech"

Hey! I've been wearing camo and pseudo-tactical shit on the daily since long before it became fashionable. It used to be back in the good old days that military surplus gear was the cheap way for broke motherfuckers to get vaguely performant and moreover highly durable outdoor wear, plus it's always full of pockets. Bonus points if you were also some kind of airsoft/paintball nerd.

"Cry more 🤣🤣🤣".

My man, you might have just hurt my feelings for no good reason, why are you so happy about it?! I've only seen it in YT comments, TBF, so they might all just be bots. Hopefully.

Bit of an older one, had it come up recently and it reminded me of when I was younger: “bleeding hearts/bleeding heart liberals”. lol okay, sandbrain.

Carnist

what the fuck is carist or foid?

• literally everybody in arc raiders

I believe "carnist" is used by more radical vegan/vegetarians to refer to meat-eaters

And I'm pretty sure "foid" is incel for "women", femoid became f-oid became foid.

I do this, but I'm trans. I just think we're cool!

Like someone else said, the stuff made to make someone look militaristic, or more like a strong/scary dude, at least in their eyes.

Gun rights themed stickers on their phone, thin blue line patches or hats, way too much camo, having a massive, overly expensive truck with blacked out windows, and honestly at least in my community, just having anything with an American flag prominently visible on it tends to mean you're a person that's... not that nice to be around. Also sometimes common with people that've got way too much Christianity themed items, though that's more of a higher likelihood than a strong certainty.

To give you some examples of what people with any of that have said/displayed to me:

• "I want to be a prison guard so I can boss around the inmates and make them clean the floors while I watch. I might get to taze them too!"
• "I wish those people (homeless woman and her children) outside would stop begging and get a job, I don't like being asked for money..."
• Deliberately misgendering my coworkers (after being directly verbally corrected by them)
• Preaching so much to me and my coworkers (about specifically hyper-conservative christian values. She goes to a church where women aren't allowed to be pastors or preach at all) that one of my Christian coworkers who had a cross necklace had to hide it because the woman got so excited from seeing it on him that her nonstop preaching made him have a panic attack
• A cop telling me I'm doing my job wrong, after I showed him the state law saying I was allowed to do that (he proceeded to do nothing about what he was called there for, and leave after chatting with the security guard for 10 minutes, on the clock)
• Sexually assaulted one of my coworkers

I've never had any experiences even remotely close to that from people who just... didn't feel the need to compensate for their masculinity with guns and big trucks, or justify their actions with Jesus and "patriotism." Sure there's always some general rudeness or people just being ignorant or inconsiderate, but nothing on that scale.

We used to joke like this because it was such a dead giveaway that someone was racist. We started saying things like “I’m not racist but the weather is fantastic today!” Or “I’m not sexist, but do you think it’s gonna rain?”

pho-militaristic

Yeah, the tactical soup culture is really out of hand these days.

(...it's "faux," by the way.)

fixed but i'd rather pho

I think "patriot" is one of those titles that should only be given, and that ideally happens to someone who's done something especially heroic or monumental for their country. I think of myself as patriotic, because I care a lot about my country despite its enormous, gangrenous flaws. I want to help it realize its potential. But to say "I'm a patriot" these days – I agree with you – really only connotes blind nationalism.

Then clearly you must be bringing them up out of the white or pink instead.

It's so weird how they flip both of those words around. Like, they'll say "females" instead of women, but then, they'll say "a woman doctor."

I take it pho-militaristic is Vietnam-era stuff.

"It's ma'am!"

Mod of /c/vegan@lemmy.world, and we use "carnist" pretty regularly. "Carnist" either means supporting carnism ("carnist rhetoric") or someone who subscribes to it ("a carnist"), where carnism is (I think Wiktionary summarizes it best):

The human ideology that supports the slaughter of certain animals and the consumption of their meat or other products (leather from skin, etc).

By contrast, a meat-eater is more broadly an "omnivore" or "omni". This will vary by person, but "carnist" will be used over "omnivore" when the person isn't just passively participating in the system but actively arguing in support of the ideology behind it.

It's a term very rarely seen outside vegan circles, so it's stunning to see on a list like that; I wonder if Kolanaki talked with a vegan, said some stupid shit, got called a "carnist", and has been big mad ever since.

"I'm not political" almost always really means "I think Hitler did nothing wrong"

I've read "blood mouth" to refer to meat eaters, which I thought sounded like loser talk.

Edit: I think most people have this interaction. Every vegan I've met out in the world has been a cool relaxed person, a bunch of vegans online are loud mouthy fuckwits.

"I'm not racist, I hate everyone equally."

Non-native speakers in shambles. On the other hand, even males are not safe from us

"I tell it like it is" Proceeds to be bizzarly racist/ sexist/ homophobic and then gets offended at everyone when they tell them to knock it off.

This dude's giving "chud" at best. I can think of worse names.

You remember when the US switched to digital camouflage in the 2000s, then realized it was a terrible idea and switched back?

Any idea why you didn't see cheap digital camouflage jackets around? Did they just not make to milsurp stores?

Does "chud" mean something different than it used to?

It's actually hilarious to me that even long before robits and AI become conscious we already came up with a slur for them.

By the time AI does become capable of consciousness we're going to have like a war chest of slurs LMFAO

Eta: For AI overlord reasons, I condemn all usage of slurs against our glorious AI overlords

Any idea why you didn't see cheap digital camouflage jackets around?

It's working

Any time someone gets a big old smirk on their face while they say, "Oh, I've got some controversial opinions," that usually means they're just a degenerate edgelord. Like, making a big show about how spicy your hot takes are is just the attention-grabbing behavior of someone who lives off of criticism because they are incapable of getting along with others.

I mean, I have some controversial opinions. For example: let's feed Peter Thiel to a shark, but a small shark, so that it takes a while. And sometimes you're not in an environment where you can say that. But if that's the case, then you just don't bring it up. If you are in a place where you can say that, then have the confidence to just say it.

But some people need to first make the conversation about them, and about how damn controversial they're about to be, before they've even said something in the first place. They're just enjoying the attention. Like they're edging to how heterodox they're about to be. And they're probably about to tell you that we were better off before women had college degrees.

This one has bitten me in the ass. Male and female are incredibly common terms in the medical community, but I try to limit my use of female to work only, if at all. On the plus side, I've learned I rarely need to use it at work. It literally only matters if we're doing a deep dive into what's potentially going on and need to branch out to figure it out

In no particular order:

1. ACU/UCP is pretty irredeemably ugly for casual wear. Maybe it will find a niche following among cyberpunks in 20 years or something, who knows.
2. It may still have a connotation to official US Army uniforms that people looking for casual wear don't want to make. The classic "woodland" camo is far enough removed from this.

It is in basically every surplus store, and it is cheap...because hardly anyone wants it.

I think it is probably because it gets used in a way where it takes on a slur-like connotation. It feels a bit complicated to this onlooker; vegan and non-vegan would seem like adequate terms at first glance, but because "vegan" is overloaded (it's both used to describe a diet of non-animal by/products and the broader social movement of advocating against the same) it feels a bit lacking.

I think it would be “Doctrix” in older versions of English.

it’s both used to describe a diet of non-animal by/products and the broader social movement of advocating against the same

Actually, in circles where "carnist" would be used, "vegan" has a very clear distinction, and it's the latter. Whether they've seen it or not, veganism in those circles will be roughly the Vegan Society's definition*:

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms [which we don't use] it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Somebody who's solely on a plant-based diet (i.e. abstaining from animal products in their food) would be called just that: "plant-based". The reason "carnist" is used is, like I said, to denote active support for the ideology and not just passive consumption. Plenty of people will go their entire lives without meaningfully engaging with the ideology behind the food they eat, the clothes they wear, etc., which is where the "omnivore" and "carnist" terms come in.

"Carnism" makes veganism a lot easier to discuss, because simply "vegan or non-vegan" places carnism in a position of inherent normalcy. Imagine another movement (especially a minority one) that could only describe anyone in terms of "us or non-us". Positioning carnism as an ideology (which it objectively is) challenges its otherwise unchallenged position.

* Notably, The Vegan Society is the origin of both meanings.

Yeah, I only discovered the word when I read “doctoress” in a translation I was proofing and knew there was something going on there.

Foid is short for 'female humanoid,' insinuating that women are non- or sub-human.

Although with the distinction between gender and sex continually becoming more prevalent in the zeitgeist, I find myself using the terms "male" and "female" more often than I used to.
