The majority of Lavender Language in the Anglosphere has basically three sources:
>British Gay Men in the 1960s (Polari)
From this we get: twink, butch, drag, etc.
>Black American Drag Queens in the 1990s (Ballroom talk)
From this we get: fish, realness, kiki, etc.
>And /lgbt/posters from nowadays (u fags)
From this we get: passoid, hon, boymoder, etc.
I find it fascinating how these three groups have invented basically the entire lexicon English has for describing faggotry. In 30 years from now, what will be the next big group pioneering queerspeak?
>>40624111 (OP)Are you forgetting 2010 tumblr and how it became mainstream with its non binary pronoun stuff
>>40624139Oh shit.
Well I guess there's a fourth.
Almost forgot about mogai that was really big.
>>40624111 (OP)Plurals are becoming the new thing. Ten years from now you're gonna be treated like a pickme for not having multiple personality disorder
>>40624198Those are glorified masks lol
>>40624198I think the plural shit has a higher bar though than being a troon.
It's a lot easier to convince yourself you're trans than it is to convince yourself you have Dissociative Identity Disorder when you don't. Although if you go on TikTok where most of these people lurk, you'll find that most of them are also trans.
Interesting how that connection exists...
>>40624111 (OP)The difference in your examples is that your contributions to the culture are toxic. They don't deserve to be remembered.
You're forgetting blackpill/incel culture which originated from the PSL series of forums (PUAhate, sluthate, lookism.org). Everything maxxing, Chad, Stacy, mog, etc originated there.
Kinda sad these places have been forgotten and just absorbed into the nu-right, coming from someone who was browsing them back in 2014 as a 14 year old.
>>40624383This isn't queer specific. Also, a good amount of it actually originated on the absolutely legendary bodybuilding.com forums.
>>40624399I agree it isn't queer specific, but it seems like everyone nowadays bit off a chunk of it, including the queers.
>>40624383>>40624399this is sort of merged into /lgbt/ lingo really
>>40624418this board inherits it because a lot of anons here are post-chudcels who decided it would easier to be queer than a manosphere type.
>>40624111 (OP)we cant know, we need a geography alien to our present web/chatroom dynamic rn. its possible that it wont change without the integration of some significant LGBT ESL culture.
>>40624111 (OP)Neo-China arrives from the future.
>>40624674to shove us back in the closet?
>>40624674Honestly they are pretty good at neologisms it’s just frustrating how separate their online experiences are. I’ve tried to find Chinese zoomer YouTubers who report on concepts like involution or the sort of Chinese hikikomori movement but without luck
>>40624711Don't have a meltdown over it.
>>40624111 (OP)No the post-aids 2000s turn was really influential, it gave us the use of the word "queer" and obviously tumblr and then later reinforcement through tiktok is super influential. There is also queer culture that way predates the 60s with terms that are still used today.
>>40624719I'll have a menty b whenever it pleases me
>>40624139Theyfabs from tumblr have no relation to queerness, they're more like colonizers. I never actually hear any of their language except from themselves.
>>40624111 (OP)tumblr mogs 4chan for gay influence
