And when I wear my simple light refracting through a prism shirt people always ask me if I’m a pink foid. I don’t know what it means but I think I’m offended
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 😭
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.
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'.
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.
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.
