I will keep saying leftoid until the leftoids improve. They do not get the courtesy of even being called leftist. Hilarious to say I’M the sus one when there’s people in this thread downplaying and defending NAZISM. Explicitly.
Anyone using 4chan incel lingo is sus. That’s a you problem. Sure fuck the people downplaying the danger presented by people like Platner but also fuck people using 4chan lingo to be edgy like you are doing. It makes you sound childish. Nobody talks like that.
Westoid and leftoid both have tens of thousands of hits on this website when I hit search. -oid far predates 4chan and simply means “pertaining to, loosely”. Go have your language domination games somewhere else please and stop trying to derail the more important subject at hand
Yes and I hate seeing it. It also has eugenics roots if you look up the term “removed”. Weird hill to die on while praising fuckin BadEmpanada of all people. Mongol with the suffix is rightly in the slur filter.
My point is you should present your point without using language derived from 4chan Nazis.
I hate BadEmpanada, I called him a leftoid as well if you re-read my comment. Does that make it sound like I respect his opinion or profession? I used him to demonstrate how fucked the situation is when even he is way better than basically every single ‘leftist’ politician, political organization and cultural commentator.
It’s like you aren’t following how language is used and works or something. You have weird prescriptivist views that follow from your word policing.
The suffix -oid means “resembling,” “like,” or “having the form of”. It is often used to denote something that looks or behaves similarly to something else, but is fundamentally distinct (e.g., humanoid, asteroid). Ancient Greek Root: It originates from the Greek word eîdos (εἶδος), meaning “form,” “shape,” or “likeness”. Etymological Evolution: In Greek, it combined with connecting vowels to form the suffix -oeidēs. This evolved into the Latinized form -oīdēs and eventually became the modern English suffix -oid. Historically and currently, this suffix is heavily utilized in mathematics, the sciences, and medical terminology (e.g., cuboid, spheroid, adenoid) to describe geometric shapes, organic structures, and classification
When used to describe people it literally comes from skull measuring and referring to autistic people as having asiatic features. Idk why you cling to a shitty 4chan in incel term so much but you do you guy.
Now who’s being prescriptivist? You seriously need to either do a tiny little bit of self crit, or just stop talking to me. The only one derailing this thread is you by doubling down on your beloved 4chan speak. I am done with you.
i was owning you by your own logic. You picked the dictionary etymology side instead of the use-case descriptivist side, and you don’t even have the high ground to stand on for it. Do the origins of things matter or not? You cherry picking an arbitrary use case is not meaningful. Stop saying asteroids and humanoids
The use-case is that it was picked up by 4chan Nazis. Femoid, leftoid, etc. all are derived from its eugenicist useage. Please fuck off. I said I was done with you. “Owned you with facts and logic!” do you even hear yourself? I pity your org for having to put up with you.

It predates that by thousands of years…
