“Stemfag” term might be a start.
Came here to say this exact thing. Crazy to me how people can use weird ass terms like this and not understand why people are put off
Lad in my class was trying to get a girl and was talking about how “that bitch still hasn’t replied to my message”, and I was thinking that no wonder he couldn’t get a girlfriend if that was his attitude. To top it off, she actually did reply several days ago 😂
Same guy also cheated on his previous girlfriend
What even funnier to me is how people think this is how he would talk irl.
Just like people jumping on someone for saying something like “bitches be trippin”
“MaYbE iF yOu DiDnT rEfEr To ThEm As BiTcHeS”
Like bruh yeah I’m really out here only using bitch to refer to women
On the one hand, I agree, people don’t always talk in real life the same way they do online. On the other hand, just the mental space where you think “stemfag” is a normal thing to type is enough of a signal that even if you don’t say it in real life, you probably aren’t the most pleasant person to be around
And I know that things like “stemfag” are part of 4chan’s culture, and it is normal to say it there… But isn’t active engagement in 4chan’s culture enough of a red flag on its own?
Linguistically and culturally, bitch has been integrated into the English vernacular and the connotation isn’t as misogynstic anymore. Stemfag though? You hear someone pull that one out then thst raises alarms.
Plus, if this is the internal process of someone then I wouldn’t be surprised it bleeds into their every day life, with or without them knowing.
