I think it is just another trump-supporter buzzword.

Sorry.

?NOTE: There are few studies which show no major differences in testosterone levels after soy consumption. However they?re quite often sponsored by SOYJOY or other large soy producers. Meaning that the results are of no use and often completely biased.?


I don't get it. Nothing you said makes it not a buzzword.

But this website said that there is science backing up the word soyboy while simultaneously putting a blanket statement out there saying any disagreeing studies are paid off. Obviously that justifies using it to describe people you disagree with even if you don't know if they actually eat soy.


The point is the term has been around for awhile, especially in gymrat communities apparently, and has scientific evidence backing up the claim even if co sidered dubious.

It is in no way related to the alt right (whatever that is) and has more to do with soyboys having very similar political ideas (and defenses) per capita.

So naturally anybody who calls somebody a soyboy must be part of the alt right, because the only people who disagree with the term are naturally inclined to believe those who support that term must be members of the alt right, because only the alt right could be capable of the depravity that is disagreeing with those who consider it to be one of their terms. Just like ?cuck? and ?hippie? and ?communist?.


Trump supporters are the only people that use any of those words, with the exception of anti trump people using them to mock trump supporters. I have not heard the soy one outside of CE and the first time I saw it was mere weeks ago. I personally don't actively consume soy except in Chinese food..


Thats good for you, but despite what millenials think all terms did not first originate on the internet, and what cultural trends happen on the internet are not a reflection of what people believe or talk about irl.

Soyboy is not a new term and you are getting your jimmies rustled by extremists teaching you to get dog whistle triggered by the term and you are falling for it like the master trollers they are, and proving their point in the process.


I'm 35 and I don't really qualify as a millennial. I can see that term and not feel embarrassed for the person using it. I don't care where it originated. It is garbage and I could never justify using it myself, not even as mockery. Anyone who talks that way, I can't help but look down on. There is nothing to fall for and no point to be made. You shouldn't get dog whistle triggered just by somebody not patting you on the head and acting as though you're clever for regurgitating trashy buzzwords.

Basically, when I hear a new term, I make the decision to accept it or turn my nose up at it on whether or not I could use it without getting the sense that I've degraded myself or stooped to an unacceptable low. In this particular case, my position is clear.
