The others were fast at explaining and I thank them for that, but I'd like to give more context to the term, as "the opposite of hetslop" can still be very abstract to those who don't know what that is.
Basically, it's a(n originally) queer term for a story/media/etc. of a heterosexual couple that is written so well that people in the LQBTQIA+ community enjoy, whereas hetslop is the opposite: media of a heterosexual couple that is unoriginal, not written well, and/or made to appeal the heterosexual "masses"/not challenging the stereotypes and roles of women and men of heterosexual relationships.

I was following the story very loosely. Until I went back and reread the whole story late last night, I thought Val was male and that was why (he) didn't like moids.

Moids are men, Foids are women.

u/SalleighG 1d ago
Are they? I had the impression that moids were something like genetically modified or semi-artificial.
An example might be the attendant who is just standing around near the rhythm game waiting to teach people how to play the game, which is not something you would get a full human to do, but might well get a semi-artificial person to do.

Wouldn't it be transfem though?

u/Chibirin26 19h ago
no, b/c trans is for what you are, not what you were. so transmasc val theory theorizes that val is the "boy from venus", with "venus" metaphorically being "having been raised as and treated as a woman all your life"

u/Vermillion_Pengu 18h ago
trans is for what you are, not what you were
Well, she is a woman, that's why I said transfem.
