EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.
recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email
IDK either but I’m guessing it’s a play on “soyboy”, so basically just calling the devs that engage in this behavior wusses and losers.
I hate how soy has been used by bigots as an insult. Soy products are bloody delicious!
Agreed, it’s stupid as an insult.
I agree and am aware of the connotations of such terms, didn’t really mean to get associated with bigots like this.

There really is a universe of alternatives that could have made this meme work but instead it’s going to choke on it’s own ill-conceived wrath. Whatever, meatface.
I thought it was a racist slur for Asian devs…never heard the term soyboy before, but would have assumed racist slur as well.
never seen it used in such context
I mean like i said, I have never even seen it used before, in any context, so this is only my initial impression of the name.
You use “soy” as a negative appendix to something, soy is Asian in origin (I think?), which is why I perceived it initially as a racist slur.
nah, it’s more related to the soyjak meme, ie consumerist, yet smarter than thou npc
I like it, makes sense lol
I’m imagining devs that use MS word as revision control.
Edit: apparently I imagined wrongly
I had a professor that did that exclusively to piss people off. It worked.
He imagined wrongly?
