Hello SBers, it has recently come to the attention of the staff that many users are using the term “foid” or “femoid” or “X-foid” in reference to women or female characters, particularly due to a recent internet fad related to genderbent Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. To be clear, it is only the word “-foid” that the staff has a problem with, not this fad itself.

The staff will like to politely remind you that we consider this term to be a slur and chan behavior on SB, and thus in violation of both General Rule 7A and General Rule 4A.

Please refrain from using this word or its derivatives on SB. Given that many users will have learned of this term through this fad and not realize the context, we will only be giving out warnings without infraction points for first time offenses.

Thank you,
SB Staff
