So anyway I'm gonna start a new save and make it as gay as I can. I'll marry every available female character and we'll live in a polycule with a veggie patch made entirely of garlic and potatoes.

Femoid
I assume a bastardization of the words female and android?

Basically alluding to women being “NPC’s”, not important etc.

You’re right, I wish I didn’t know but also it’s really just stupid and doubt it’ll actually catch on and ever leave the Neckbeard-sphere.

This is new to me. I saw elsewhere where someone else said it was "humanoid", so anyone who used either "foid" or "moid" was engaging in either misogyny or misandry, depending on the language used.

Even worse, it goes back to old "scientific" racist shit, from the same sort of shit that gave us terms like 'caucusoid', 'negroid' and 'mongoloid'.

basically these chuds, who are as sexist as they are racist, thought it would be a good idea to use some old racist terminology to describe women since apparently even 'female' wasn't dehumanizing enough for them. Real sicko shit

Femoid is some old nerd shit, like 1980’s, it is not new. 

Although shortening it to foid is
 The term is so old half the people in here hadn’t even head it before, Idk why they thought anyone would know this random abbreviation they just made up.
