This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What’s a foid?
It stands for female humanoid and is exactly as dehumanizing as it sounds
How is that "dehumanizing" when human is literally in the explanation. Had it been "female apeoid" I'd have agreed, but humanoid... So "moid" for male humanoid is "dehumanizing" too?
"A humanoid is a non-human entity with human form or characteristics." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanoid
A humanoid is by definition not human, hence calling a human a humanoid is dehumanizing.
I stand corrected. Thank you for the explanation. 👍
graceful. props to you.
more people should be like this.
-oid is like -esque, in that it describes something that resembles the root word, without actually being it.
And the n-word literally means "black". But from the context we know that it is being used as a derogatory word just like in this case.
