SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW KIND OF MALE THAT TRANSCENDS THE GREEK ALPHABET ENTIRELY!!!!

This new type of male belongs to the periodic table of elements. Known for their magnetic charm and iron will above all other types, scientists call this new type Fe Males!!!!!

Could you secretly be a Fe Male??????

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Iron males is something I can imagine some incel dreaming up. It might be a fun troll.

Among the extreme right, being ironpilled refers to working out in preparation for the impending race war.

Is this a quote because it's a quote from someone who actually said or wrote this, and you are quoting them?

If so... yikes.

If not... well done.

How can i sign up to be Iron Man?

[–] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's easier than you think! Tony Stark became Iron Man by wearing a special suit, right? That's the secret!

That's right! You can upgrade your manhood today simply by dressing like a Fe Male! Confused? Don't worry! There are plenty of resources available! Simply Google "how to dress like a FeMale" and follow whatever results you find without question!

Alpha Males think they're top shit, but it's the Gamma Male that's guaranteed to penetrate me

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

zeta males however, will simply probe you

Gotta love those Gamma Tops

"I'm an alpha, what are you?"

"I am the alpha and the omega. Bow before your god."

I'm properly tested and released

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That's a bit optimistic, but I'm at least in the public beta phase

I despise xi males, they have the worst Greek letter.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml -5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I hope you didn't mean it, but that is a really gross sentence with a slur phonetically.

[–] shani66@ani.social 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's... Not how you pronounce xi

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

I think the commenter might speak Portuguese, or Catalan, or Chinese. Any language where X is pronounced as SH

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Huh? Phonetically it could sound like "ze males" with a thick German accent but that's not what I meant.

I quote:

No one likes xi. It is impossible to write, I mean which great mind thought it would be a good idea to turn a tornado into a letter, simply preposterous.

https://www.change.org/p/the-entire-multiverse-ban-xi-from-the-greek-alphabet

Edit: I can kinda see where the slur is now, bur that's not how you pronounce (the Greek letter) "xi". Xi is pronounced /zaɪ/ ZY or /(k)saɪ/ (K)SY in English and [ksi] in Greek.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't the greek equivalent of X Chi while Xi has more of an s sound?

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'm not a Greek expert, I just know what little math has taught me... 😅

The pronunciation thing came directly from Wikipedia because I was unsure how to spell it phonetically in English and then I threw the Greek pronunciation in because that's how it's pronounced in German too (since I am German and was only certain about the German pronunciation): Xi (letter)

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

It's also worth noting that the "ZY" or "KSY" pronunciations might be misleading to English speakers. The "Y" in both of those is actually like the vowel in "fly", not like in "baby".

It's still deranged though. If I could accept I have weird, often disgusting fetishes, everyone can.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

It's tongue in cheek

Fratbro, "Red Pill" guy, and Alphaverse writer have a conversation that is all misunderstandings:

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago

I still hold to my hypothesis that self-proclaimed alpha-males experience the same kind of body / identity dysphoria experienced by some folks in the trans and enby communities, specifically they feel less masculine than they want to be, and are possibly unable to feel adequately masculine no matter how much they express themselves.
