For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨
Words that used unironically/outside of satire, automatically signal you as a chud:

Woke (at least, the word is generally only brought up now by chuds complaining about things being woke)

Carnist
what the fuck is carist or foid?
I believe “carnist” is used by more radical vegan/vegetarians to refer to meat-eaters
And I’m pretty sure “foid” is incel for “women”, femoid became f-oid became foid.
Mod of /c/vegan@lemmy.world, and we use “carnist” pretty regularly. “Carnist” either means supporting carnism (“carnist rhetoric”) or someone who subscribes to it (“a carnist”), where carnism is (I think Wiktionary summarizes it best):
The human ideology that supports the slaughter of certain animals and the consumption of their meat or other products (leather from skin, etc).
By contrast, a meat-eater is more broadly an “omnivore” or “omni”. This will vary by person, but “carnist” will be used over “omnivore” when the person isn’t just passively participating in the system but actively arguing in support of the ideology behind it.
It’s a term very rarely seen outside vegan circles, so it’s stunning to see on a list like that; I wonder if Kolanaki talked with a vegan, said some stupid shit, got called a “carnist”, and has been big mad ever since.
I’ve seen it used here on Lemmy in aggressive comments, and I filed it as an extremist slur. It’s not just Kolanaki.
Same here. I’ve never seen it in the real world.
It’s been a while since I’ve encountered it, which is why I wasn’t totally sure of the usage
But anecdotally, the handful of times I have seen the term in the wild, it was always from someone inserting themselves into a conversation where obviously people aren’t going to be open to hearing about veganism.
Like if they hopped into a thread about, for example, a BBQ or hunting forum, and started berating people for eating meat, and when they get told to pound sand, they go off about how that’s “typical carnist behavior” or something.
Which I think you can probably agree is pretty CHUD-y
Not saying that’s how it’s used in regular vegan circles, but that’s how I’ve personally seen used it as a non-vegan
Bringing up trans people out of the blue.
I do this, but I’m trans. I just think we’re cool!
Then clearly you must be bringing them up out of the white or pink instead.
Any kind of slur

It’s actually hilarious to me that even long before robits and AI become conscious we already came up with a slur for them.
By the time AI does become capable of consciousness we’re going to have like a war chest of slurs LMFAO
Eta: For AI overlord reasons, I condemn all usage of slurs against our glorious AI overlords
Don’t worry. At the rate we’re goíng, humanity will be long dead before “AI” is remotely sentient, let alone salty.
Gotta always be prepared for the Roko’s basilisk eventuality.

“Female” instead of woman or girl.
Edit: as in, where “woman” or “girl” would be grammatically correct. e.g. “a lot of females work at that company” vs “a lot of women work at that company” or “that company has a lot of female employees”
It’s so weird how they flip both of those words around. Like, they’ll say “females” instead of women, but then, they’ll say “a woman doctor.”
I hope that you can extend some grace to people born in different eras. When I hear something like “woman employee,” I hear my Greatest Generation grandparents, and believe me, neither “woman doctor” or “woman driver,” nor any similar construction was complimentary.
I think it was the Boomers who started to use “female” as an adjective, because it sounded clinical, descriptive, and non-judgemental. So “female employee” sounds much better to my ear. (But, FWIW, the use of “female” as a noun is total cringe.)
Yeah, inceldom has coopted the word, and now I hear that “woman doctor” is preferred, but it’s not always easy to remember that on the fly when you grew up with the opposite connotation.
how much I hate the euphemism treadmill.

I think “patriot” is one of those titles that should only be given, and that ideally happens to someone who’s done something especially heroic or monumental for their country. I think of myself as patriotic, because I care a lot about my country despite its enormous, gangrenous flaws. I want to help it realize its potential. But to say “I’m a patriot” these days – I agree with you – really only connotes blind nationalism.
Fits pretty neatly with the word “humble” - it should only be said externally.
“I’m not racist, but <insert extremely racist take here>.”
I don’t care about politics
I genuinely didn’t back then. I saw it as a waste of time. I only saw it as bitching on twitter, you could argue with rational arguments all you want, but you’d never change anyones mind. Odds are you are reasoning with a bot or a troll. I made the incorrect assumption that if a president ever strayed too far, he’d be stopped.
Politics is an endless fire that fuels itself and burns forever, if I can stay away from it I will, but in the times of today, that’s not really an option anymore.
Well, everything is political, so I bet you cared about politics that you didn’t call politics. Politics is just social decision making. I bet you liked political movies.
supporting ‘the troops’ in pretty much any context
Any time anyone starts throwing insults and slurs at me like a Frisbee in lieu of an actual counterarguement
It’s probably because your dumb!!1!
No and see that’s the funny thing. I’ve had people try to call me stupid or the r slur, but like, they couldn’t even be bothered to spell “you are” you’re correctly. That always makes me laugh, because oh the irony!
Self-identified centrists are always well to the right of the actual center
“I’m not political” almost always really means “I think Hitler did nothing wrong”
“Israel has a right to self defense.”
“I tell it like it is” Proceeds to be bizzarly racist/ sexist/ homophobic and then gets offended at everyone when they tell them to knock it off.
“Have a blessed day”
It is a fun one to drop ironically, though.
The first and easiest is always the
phofaux-militaristic active wear. Its like adidas trainers on a guy squatting. When you know you know. If its an aiport, their bag has just an abusurd number of places to velcro things and a place to put a fake unit patch. Also, chuds mostly travel in packs, so the probability of them actually being a chud increases at a rate of 1- e-1/N chuds per unit area.See also lifted yota’s tacomas with a bunch tac gear, and a big-ol’ floor jack the think they need to carry around., none of which has ever been used, see also the F-350, and of course, the all-to-obvious “one dude in a cyber truck”.
Hey! I’ve been wearing camo and pseudo-tactical shit on the daily since long before it became fashionable. It used to be back in the good old days that military surplus gear was the cheap way for broke motherfuckers to get vaguely performant and moreover highly durable outdoor wear, plus it’s always full of pockets. Bonus points if you were also some kind of airsoft/paintball nerd.
