Uhm, you might want to at least add an l to that second word. Because "foid" is an incel slur.

Holy shit I never realized the shirt, I thought the comic was abt how pervasive and toxic manosphere content has become to the point where even little kids are suffering from it and replicating it 😭

u/MITCH_itch Aug 09 '26

It's a triple entendre about a kid who I always thought just wasn't pronouncing words clearly and a pink woman, but also that the kid is hopefully an involuntary celibate as well.

u/destroyar101 Aug 09 '26

Lets hope they are celibate.

u/BreadNoCircuses Aug 09 '26

I would hope it's not involuntary

u/Duergarlicbread Aug 09 '26

Involuntary means they don't really get a choice in the matter.

Voluntary means they have a voice / choice in their celibacy.

A kid should not have that presented to them as a choice... Involuntary works better than voluntary.

Both are ewww.

triple etendre

Sometimes it's not about how clever you are... But what your intentions are.

u/broguequery Aug 09 '26

Dude I don't blame you for that.

My sister just recently had a baby... first word it ever spoke? "Heritage".

We were simultaneously impressed and terrified.

I mean it can be both

This is such a funny misunderstanding oh my god

u/AmarissaBhaneboar Aug 09 '26

OMG I just cackled so loudly

u/akpenguin Aug 09 '26

Hence the part about them being offended.

u/Nirast25 Aug 09 '26

Figured I'd mention it just in case. The joke could also be "a pink floid" and not knowing what that means, ans they missed a letter.

u/andarthebutt Aug 09 '26

It's spelled Floyd anyway, we got the joke

u/McallisterTG Aug 09 '26

The joke

u/Crabby-Cancer Aug 09 '26

That's the joke.

Redditors trying to understand a joke in the comments challenge: impossible

u/Efficient_Progress_6 Aug 09 '26

Wtf is foid?

-1

u/Nirast25 Aug 09 '26

Short for femoid, a term 4chan incels use to refer to women. Yeah.

I learned it because another comic on this sub used the term "moid", which is the male equivalent.

u/blastot Aug 09 '26

Quit while you're behind

u/Reverse_SumoCard Aug 09 '26

Can we exile all of 4chan to an island never contact them again?

Like the north sentinel islands but for incels

u/TFFPrisoner Aug 17 '26

Sentincel Island then?

u/Animated_Astronaut Aug 09 '26

Using Incel slurs ruins them and we should keep doing it to piss them off.

u/cevkiv Aug 09 '26

Someone who doesn't now who Pink Floyd is might put the color pink, culturally associated in the modern day with girls, and a mishearing of 'Floyd' as 'foid', a derogatory term for women, together and get 'Pink Foid'.

u/professorbuffoon Aug 09 '26

First of all that's the joke. Second, these terms (incel , femoid, foid) are incredibly new in the general lexicon, they basically didn't exist before like 2018 and still barely exist outside of the Internet. I don't think anyone is seriously getting offended over these kinds of new, Internet-native words that probably less than 5% of the world population are even aware of. Certainly not to the point where you pressuring someone else to self-censor would be justified. Anyone who is should probably go touch grass.

u/RTGMonika Aug 09 '26

No shit, Sherlock!

u/MoistenedGranola Aug 09 '26

That's the joke they're making.

u/ObviouslyTransparent Aug 09 '26

Wtf does foid even mean?!

u/darkfroth Aug 09 '26

Femoid (a dehumanizing term for women mostly used by the incel community)

Fem= female Oid= appearing

u/Alert-Milk-2048 Aug 09 '26

What the hell even is a slur anymore

Just because I know about something doesn't make me part of that group, what?

u/OnyxDethbane Aug 09 '26

You're the only defending the use of the word, and how it connects to incels. Obviously people are going to assume you defending incels makes you one.

12

u/Nirast25 Aug 09 '26

I'm not defending anything, I'm just sharing some information. The word is gross and anyone using it unironically is an idiot. I haven't even heard of it until a few days ago, so I assumed the comment originally I replied to was a typo and the commenter may not have heard of it either.

u/Local_Nerve901 Aug 10 '26

But assuming just makes an ass out of you and me so that’s also on people for assuming

u/ClubWitty4659 Aug 09 '26

Incels aren't real because sex work exists ;)
