This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How is that “dehumanizing” when human is literally in the explanation. Had it been “female apeoid” I’d have agreed, but humanoid… So “moid” for male humanoid is “dehumanizing” too?

"A humanoid is a non-human entity with human form or characteristics." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanoid

A humanoid is by definition not human, hence calling a human a humanoid is dehumanizing.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the explanation. 👍
