Per title, folks should really stop calling each other queens or alphas.
It’s cringe and not empowering in anyway.
Especially when we are talking about strangers on the Internet, so there’s no way of knowing if someone actually fits that description or not.
And folks who use said terms are usually neither.

agreed that it gets cringey and annoying sometimes
How do you know if the folks who said that term are neither, if there is no way of knowing if they fit that description?
Pop off queen
Queen I don’t care about. Alpha is based off of junk science and perpetuates unhealthy male self identity
Okay, Queen.
People do that?
Wait….Are they the same people who want to call anyone who disagrees with them an incel?
Neither term is as bad as saying “It’s cringe”.
No. I need these signs to help avoid them
The only people I know who do this do it very sarcastically. Most people know it’s super cringey.
Sir, yes, sir solute!!!
“It’s cringe and not empowering”
Isn’t that kind of the point? Are there people who are saying this to each other without that intent?
Even on the internet it seems like most people who use these terms are clearly using them as a joke
here, King, you dropped this 🫱👑
Pop off Queen 💅🏻✨
They’re the ones with fist holes in their walls
There are fewer things more insecure than needing to make a declaration about how others should see you. If you’re anything at all, others should see that without you saying a word. And if you have to point it out, you’re less of that thing than you think you are.
We need to mix it up and start throwing in empress or brigadier general
Maybe it’s time to interact with real humans? put your phone down and go for a walk
This going to be tangential, but XG have a really cool song called howling (it’s animal fairy themed I think?), but also their fan base are called alphas, which is like on to the worst fan names the could choose in this day and age…
Another day, another post saying how some trendy term is “cringe” without a whiff of irony.
There’s no way of using “alpha” that’s not sarcastic.
Eh there’s a difference. “Queen” and “king” is usually someone trying to lift up and support another person, but “alpha” is usually self-prescribed and announced as a way to assert dominance and hierarchy. I wouldn’t put them in the same category.
I feel similarly about badass.
Queen, king, alpha, beta are all so stupid and sound childish.
Yaas queen, speak your truth
Dudes calling each other King is like a bunch of women gassing each other up
Queen is fine, alpha is cringe.
We live in a world where “words” mean a lot more than they used to… Forgive me for saying I grew up in the “sticks and stones days.”
I will reiterate sticks and stones were absolutely a thing at a time in this world.
But in this day, just my opinion. Way too sensitive to words… I also grew up in the days of your “pants too high, waiting for a flood.”
I think that there’s rude people and mean to be rude, and there’s people that just say, How are you “Hon” and “Love”, no problem “sweety.”
If your smart enough to take offence, your probably smart enough to read the “body language” and know when it’s “inappropriate or cringe.”
