Sooooo, what are gorillahon and sneedhon?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

"hon" is a 4chan slur for trans women (who in their view don't "pass'"), mocking how we use "hon(ey)" as a pet name for women.

Sneed is an ellision of "special needs"

I'm sure you can guess the connotation of "gorilla" in this context

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 hours ago

Man, and here I thought I would learn something fun. Instead, it's just some weird slurs. Anyway, thanks for explaining.

The linguistics of terminally online fascism, fascinating

I was under the impression that sneed was antisemitic.

I mean it's 4chan they can turn the definite article into a slur

"Friendslop" seems to be the only "slop" used in a positive manner.

[–] bleustenns@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

It is often used in a very negative manner, tbh. I never see anyone call something friendslop in 'the good way'. Personally hate the word

You might be terminally online, my groups' eyes light up at the mention of new friendslop hitting the troughs

I use it mixed. To me, it means the game doesn't have any value alone, and doesn't have any value with a group of introverts, for example. You MUST play with the right group for it to work.

Similarly, streamerslop is just a game that is only good for streamers to use as platforms. It often is also friendslop, but not always.

So, friendslop is negative, but not extremely so. It's just describing what type of game ît is, like "party music" or "pop music"

The game Peak, for example is GOOD friendslop. It's an actual game with replayability and a ladder of still to be learned, and doesn't rely on social antics to be fun and challenging.

Refreshing take tbh

I can't keep up with the changing of the language. It's when a few fuckers get trapped under some rain, what else would they do

I love this style of “old man shakes fist at kids internet lingo” posting because its exactly how I feel.

I knew you guys would like it, since this is exactly how 90% of our interactions go.
