Is there a general point where Graduation gets as good as it seems to be now? Think I might try my hand at just jumping right the gently caress in there and not worrying too much about what was missed (or just pick it up in the Previously On, Google it, w/e)

Episode 28 (I think?) was a big turning point in the story that gives everything a bit more purpose and drive that makes the space for some good goofs. Like haircuts!

It's one of those things like cuck or snowflake, where it only has meaning to the people using it. You don't need to know what they think it means, just that they believe it's some huge own, apparently unaware of the fact that it's really stupid and meaningless to anyone who isn't a part of their insular group.

I mean, what a bunch of sock penguins, am I right? :lol: pwned

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Some people don't know how to smile for a camera. So instead, they open their mouth and widen their eyes to look like they're surprised/having fun, so as to increase engagement with video thumbnails and promotional posts. This got dubbed a dumb thing, and then turned into a rage comic face.

Uh one big thing that explanation is missing is that it's (unsurprisingly) misogynist, because some morons believe that consuming soy raises your estrogen levels and makes you less masculine, with the good ol' suggestion that feminine = weak/lesser/pathetic. "Soyboy" and by extension "soyface" are really just calling someone the f-word or a beta cuck or whatever wonderful terms upholding toxic masculinity, so yeah, you look like a shithead using them.

soyface is just what people call youtube-thumbnail-style 'reacts' "<:o!!" faces and it's sadly a term that gets used by plenty of people who dont attach it's origins to lovely types of critical gender theory. sadly travis makes what colloquially is known (outside of old people in this thread) "the soyface" all the time. it's not the same as calling someone the f-word or beta cuck, it's just a goofy name for a trend in thumbnails & selfies, like duck-lip selfies or dreamworks face

now if people started calling travis "soy" or something, then yeah it sets off my chud/parler alarm bells, but if you dont know that people use "soyface" all the time then you're just out of the loop

I remember 'soy boy' being thrown around a lot by absolute morons who bought into the idea that eating soy filled you with 'plant estrogen' and turned you into a lady. Its essentially faux scientific nonsense chuds use to put a thin veneer of authority over their compulsion to bully vegetarians and vegans to prop up their own sad little idea of what masculinity is.

Basically if I see anyone use 'Soy' as part of an insult I assume they're an enormous manbaby moron with nothing of value to add to any conversation. This hasn't steered me wrong so far.

absolutely soy as an insult is rooted in misogynist garbage, infowars even peddled it

there are a lot of terms people use to insult people/things where i just think "drat these people are insecure as gently caress". who gives a poo poo how a person smiles, are you into phrenology

i agree with all of this, sadly the exception is "soy face" because language is a fickle mistress and that specific combination of words "soy" and "face" has a big life now that isn't going away any time soon. i personally don't use it but i also dont think everyone who uses it is secretly a chud, because i'm not out of touch

I have never, ever, in my entire terminally online life heard the term 'soy face'. If that's a term you believe you can just use freely use and expect other people to know what you mean, you need to stop freebasing alt-right propaganda and take a deep breath. Please, for your own mental health.

I will not automatically think someone is a chud if they say the word, but I absolutely will start to question where a person is consuming most of their online content if they think that it's a universal term. See also: redpill, clown world

Folks, what Travie is doing is called "Muppetting," and it's when you open you open your mouth to smile like a Muppet, because you are part Muppet.*

I do it all the time, because my biggest actual smile doesn't show any teeth and adults were always telling me to show more teeth when I smile but my mouth and lips just won't get with the program.

You don't have to be a chud to have internalized misogynist views, lol. It's loving omnipresent in our culture that being a feminine man in any way is pathetic and bad. The soy thing is an insult regardless of the estrogen bullshit because meat-eating is masculine and vegetarianism (and all sorts of racist poo poo tied into Asian men not being considered masculine) is not. This isn't complicated. You can pretend these terms are divorced from the actual meaning all you want but this sure sounds like the people arguing it's fine to call things gay to mean bad.

The argument itself was what I disagreed with.

I couldn't care less if people allow themselves to be trolled into thinking the word Soy is somehow offensive like they did with the OK hand symbol and drinking milk.
