I showed a deep dive of floptropika to a straight 30 year old man and he just looked at me with confusion. People don't get stan twitter, flop tok and jiafei its too much of a burden.
She is real,the photo is just a WeChat moment(something like WhatsApp status),perhaps somebody saw it and posted it on somewhere without her permission.And…it becomes a meme😂😂
@@chromaticasforecast4419 Miss A never missed! It's not fair to leave out I Don't Need a Man and Breath then 😊 Both are also iconic. Title tracks only.
As a senior citizen of FlopTropica, we constantly thank Jiafei for her contributions to FlopTropica and her efforts in the Badussy war. Live laugh love Jiafei ❤
I swear TikTok is like another planet, I mean the way we can study their culture like they're another civilization or something... This is fascinating but also scary.
Jiafei for me has always been a meme that combines surrealism and absurdity with hyperconsumerism and celebrity culture that runs rampant on social media. Jiafei has ascended meme status and become a full on icon at this point. Some of the Jiafei remixes are genuinely good in my opinion.
Bruh bffr she’s not an icon 😭 anyone who isn’t chronically online doesn’t know about her or the meme. She’s not icon status, y’all throw that word around so carelessly.
My friend is an english speaker and I’m a spanish speaker. He goes “do you know jiafei?” I go “Jiafei potaxie??” He goes “huh.? No, jiafei from floptropica” this is when I discovered we had interacted with the same meme but from different language speaking sub- communities!
Jiafei…the light, the lover, the legend, and the lie. Thank you for bringing light to this woman, she is still on the run, and we are trying to arrest her for vehicular manslaughter. Kidnapping. And being a flop.
as someone from latin america who was really active in tiktok when potaxies started, i want to congratulate you because you did your research really well, you even added fifes and the og potaxie
these memes always spiral out of control in such ridiculous ways like imagine trying to make someone who isn't emerged in online culture understand why this is funny😭

People are making Potaxie citizenship passports and there has been a civil war among the potaxie community recently due to a Cupcakke remix of a religious Christmas carol.
Hey, comment from a Chinese tiktok user. The origin of the Jiafei scream along with many of the female voices, originated from a viral Chinese creator called GuoLaoShi. Most of the bgms and sound effects are all viral Chinese tik tok memes, and the absurd adverts usually are just remixing the viral memes and posted on taobao
The black and white badussy war picture of Trisha Paytas absolutely sent me, if only because that 100% seems like a photo shoot idea she would do edit: It’s real, I’m deceased
the main reason I like jiafei or floptok in general is because it shows me how there are so many people who share the same humor as me which I rarely find irl, and we know it's mostly done by queer people and even only understood by few queer people in countries like mine (syria) .. it's just so iconic. congrats for 100k and great job working on this video! I was waiting for it since the cupcakke one
girl mad props for making this video because, as an oldgen 2021 jiafei/floptokker, the accuracy and factual evidence is insane, and I never could have thought someone would be able to cover every major jiafei event and document it on a platform like youtube in such a serious and official way. this is gonna sound weird because the floptok community is generally very silly and fun but this actually means so much to me
Some of you don't even understand how HUGE the Jiafei cinematic universe is... this is missing so much information like the fifes or anekakanekulo and it's because everything is so big and have so many layers and even the differences between Latam potaxie and USA floptok.

I had never heard of the potaxie subgroup before but it's so interesting to see how far Jiafei's influence stretches. I look forward to more videos explaining the Floptok and Floptropican lore.
So glad that you talked about the potaxie community and in a very informed way, honestly a whole separate video could be made but those 2 minutes covered the absolute basics. 🥑💋🥑
Right there with you lmao this is amazing When I found out daboyz was essentially incels I was so proud that the youngers of my generation are fking hilarious and have their head screwed on Go floptropica😂❤❤
I don't use tik tok so learning about all this was very wild, but actually it just reminds me a lot of how tumblr used to be so even though I'm not a part of it it all feels very familiar and understandable. Like the Badussy War is just convergent evolution of the Skeleton War, I get it. Floptropica is Tumblr University and the original jiafei bots are like the rayban sunglasses hack. I'm glad gen Zs younger than me are having this experience of social media chaos
And it’s finally done! Thank you all so much for your patience with this video and for helping me to reach 100k subscribers! I had intended to have this video posted well before I reached the milestone, but in typical Joe Regrets style, the video took longer than I had anticipated. But now this can be my 100k subscriber special thank you video (because TH-camrs are supposed to do those, it’s in the handbook). I truly do appreciate everyone who has liked, subscribed and watched my channel over the past few years and am so grateful that you let me talk about quite literally anything. Thank you! :)
This type of intricate shit being created by online subculture communities, is what i love about internet and is the true core essence what makes the internet great.
As a person with severe depression, these things is one of many reasons why i'm still exist today without commit su1c1de. It's so senseless, meaningless that it's funny
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE DAY IVE BEEN BORN JOE thank god queen jiafei supports indie artists like Eminem and ariana grande Also don't forget to donate to the families of the survivors of the badussy war
As a proud Floptropican and supporter of President Deborah and Jiafei’s products I would never imagine trying to explain this all to someone who’s not chronically on the internet 💀💀💀
I remember looking at Jiafei and being like "She doesn't seem... Real. There is no life to her or anything." and behold she isn't real. I loomed her up and was like "Wheew. Technology is creepy."
I feel like a protagonist in a Lovecraft story discovering secrets man was not meant to know and feeling myself unable to stop from digging deeper. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH LORE
I love floptok. The creativity of it all is so mesmerizing. Hell, they have their own made up country with a FLAG??? And they've had WARS??? It's so fun to watch.
This is amazing, I was there from the beginning but stop seeing the whole thing this year, I didn’t know there were new people in the community I’m shocked
in kpop fandoms, people merge the names of two members together when they are talking about the relationship between the two+ of them, or the two+ of them in the video acting similarly. with the trio MISAMO being a great example of that. if anyone was wondering why the two names were combined by fans in the first place.
Many people think that the country of FlopTropica and the Potaxie planet are two separate realities but FlopTropica is actually a whole continent in the PotaxiEarth
The fact that Jiafei isn't a real person has me shaken to my core... I thought she was some k-pop star that everyone was obsessing over; explaining her extreme popularity (I mean it's not hard to get that popular when you're already famous right)... I need a moment...
I don't use tiktok, a subreddit brought me here. For some reason I keep watching. This shit is WILD. I dunno what y'all doing over there, but I do know it's THE MOST lmfao
0:00 Intro 1:01 The Origins of Jiafei 2:40 Who is Jiafei? 3:45 The Parody Products Accounts 6:59 The Haunted House 8:06 The Jiafei Scream 9:55 The "Jiafei" Song 11:58 Jiafei Remixes 16:51 Xjiemomo 19:49 Meifei and Co 21:30 Floptok 22:34 Floptropica 23:42 The Badussy War 25:52 Potaxie 27:36 Old Gens vs New Gens 30:11 Criticisms of the Meme
One thing i'd like to add is the importance of kpop tiktok and generally kpop culture. I was part of kpop tiktok in early 2021 and the jiafei bots were a huge thing back then. When the memes with the broken english started, kpop tiktok started to break apart from the jiafei sphere as it was viewed as offensive towards asian people. Despite that, im pretty sure that a minimum of half of all people who know jiafei have had a 3rd/4th gen kpop stan phase during their lifes. Also disproportionately many jiafei remixes cover kpop songs. Asides the influence from the kpop sphere we need to acknowledge that jiafei has a huge queer fanbase and basically the whole philosophy with DaBoyz is based on straight men versus the LGBTQ community. Asides that you really made a great video, i almost started getting emotional fr😭 Since 2021 i always thought of it as an unimportant side event on my phone whenever im online but as the years passed i start to realize that it is a constant in my and for sure for many other people's lives. Im sure there are many floptropicans under us in real life without knowing so i think it would be cool if we connected more within our community. This is actually serious because we could become really significant one day as one of the few cultures which have a sense of identity despite geographical barriers. We are all around the world.
You’re becoming one of my favourite channels. You make videos of the most silly and mundane topics but you do it so well. It really is a talent to take obscure things and turn it into something so interesting and super engaging, I applaud you. This channel is underrated imo. Hope you’re safe and well, keep up the fantastic work. Sending love from Australia 👍✌️🙏❤️✨🇦🇺🐨🦘
I watched this documentary with so much interest, I've never been so focused. Thank you for clearing everything up because without information floptok is confusing
I still remember when President Deborah gave Jiafei a Flopel Peace Prize for her efforts in the Badussy war to save us all, and her useful products. Her speech was so emotional with her thanking Dua Lipa for her effort too, and remembering our fallen comrade Taylor Swift.
This is so helpful and I appreciate how in depth it is! I started seeing her name when I looked up Cupcakke remixes and got confused. I had no idea how deep this rabbit hole would go.
HUGE UPDATE: Ranvision just uploaded a TikTok 51 minutes ago as I write this comment proving Jiafei is a photo of a real person!!! She's an influencer on that Chinese TikTok app thing
I’m not even done watching yet but, I always LOVE your videos, and this one in particular genuinely made me burst into uncontrollable laughter multiple times. This generation is so unserious 😭
As a former rotten k-pop addicted teenager, I knew the Jiafei name is somehow associated with Miss A. I just forgot they were two different people and just assumed one of the members went to China and made a separate career as a solo artist instead. This video is news to me. Also, I just download TikTok last month and I′m still clueless with the internet culture of the app. Such a strange platform.
As a newgen, I just wanna say thank you for explining so much to me. I have only been enjoying their memes and never really actually learned the origins and history of floptok / JiaFei. Thank you so much and jeep SERVING joe❤.
I honestly wasn’t there when the jiafei trend began but i was there when the potaxies community started and just wanted to say altho i know the video is about jiafei but i wanted to say also that “potaxie” it’s not just a misspronunciation of potassium. It has very much to do with the gender inclusive language and non binary community bc basically for those who don’t know in spanish everyword is gendered, and adjectives are either masculine or femenine so when queer people and feminists (bc the words that include a group of people the gender neutral is masculine always) strted to complain about not having a gender neutral term to refer to other’s they started using an “e” termination instead of “a”(typically femenine) or “o” (typically masculine) to make a gender inclusive language. Many people took it as a good thing and many other’s didn’t, but the thing is that in the potaxie community adopted this and now you can only communicate with inclusive language. I don’t know the reason why but that’s why there are so many “e” and so many “x” (another alternative termination for a gender inclusive language) in the potaxies videos. Hope someone finds this interesting bc idk what im doing with my life with all this info within me tbh…
One funny fact abt Jiafei and Floptok culture is that it also exists in Brazil and got a kinda huge portuguese speaking community w its own memes similar to the potaxie
As a Chinese person who was raised in a fairly Chinese bubble growing up, I find this all very entertaining and not racist. The English translations coming from mainland China are atrocious just generally (Google Translate being blocked) and the product ads were basically forced onto people anyway. The main way it might feel racist to me is when people ascribe specifically Japanese, Korean etc cultural attributes (aside from kpop) to her when she is nearly entirely composed from Chinese sources. In any case, there's something to be said about the PRC's official attempts at spreading soft power abroad failing miserably and being completely upstaged by an invented persona associated with low quality product advertisements, very explicit themes, and run primarily by LGBTQ teens/young adults!
The word Potaxie is not only a mispronunciation of the word Potasio, it also is changed to be gender-neutral. In Spanish words ending with the letter o are often masculine and words ending with the letter a are often femenine, this has led to many non-binary people wanting to be referred as neither changing the final letter to an e. Therefore instead of saying Potaxias as in "female followers of the › «Potaxio» goddess" we ended up saying Potaxies to be more inclusive
And that's also the reason potaxies are fighting "fifes". It comes from "fifa" which is an adjective used to describe sexist guys that are really into soccer (it's important to remember the importance of soccer in Latin American culture). So "fifa" comes from the fifa soccer video game, that these guys tend to play a lot. This guy is a fifa! (Singular) -> This guys are fifas (plural) -> Fifes (plural and gender neutral).
This entire video cracked me up. The whole time I was wondering how many takes you had to do reading your lines and trying not to laugh 😂 I don’t use tiktok so I’m glad there are videos like these to help me understand what the hell people are talking about haha
I am so happy you posted this! It was totally worth the wait! Hope this video gets to a million views because it was SOOOO INFORMATIONAL!! LOVE YA JOE REGRETS!

@@WWEWomen-g2d Yess, actually Wolong is the Goddess of Peace and Tranquility while Xiao Xiao is the Goddess of Aggressivity
Si, falto la historia de ANAKAKEANEKULO 😭😭😭
Deje el bullying 💋
Y la que informé 🥑👄🥑
As a kpop stan, finding out about Jiafei originating out of Miss A was actually MINDBLOWING 💀 Check their iconic hit "Hush" btw 😭😭
I am a Kpop fan as well. Crazy.
That totally threw me for a loop, but as I finish the video it's really a tone setter for all of the madness that follows
bad girl good girl soty!!!
yes omg and bad girl good girl ofc!! They were such an amazing group!!
i was literally baffled when i heard that part😭
Coming into this completely unaware of any of this makes for a WILD ride. I don’t know what I just watched, but I will cherish this lore forever.
WOOLONG AND DOBBY NEEDS MORE LOVE
I LOVE THIS
join the floptropican army. jiafei needs your help to fight the daboyz clone army😢 do your floptropican duty and help fight for us 😢
Right there with you lmao this is amazing
When I found out daboyz was essentially incels I was so proud that the youngers of my generation are fking hilarious and have their head screwed on
Go floptropica😂❤❤
I don't use tik tok so learning about all this was very wild, but actually it just reminds me a lot of how tumblr used to be so even though I'm not a part of it it all feels very familiar and understandable. Like the Badussy War is just convergent evolution of the Skeleton War, I get it. Floptropica is Tumblr University and the original jiafei bots are like the rayban sunglasses hack. I'm glad gen Zs younger than me are having this experience of social media chaos
And it’s finally done! Thank you all so much for your patience with this video and for helping me to reach 100k subscribers! I had intended to have this video posted well before I reached the milestone, but in typical Joe Regrets style, the video took longer than I had anticipated. But now this can be my 100k subscriber special thank you video (because TH-camrs are supposed to do those, it’s in the handbook). I truly do appreciate everyone who has liked, subscribed and watched my channel over the past few years and am so grateful that you let me talk about quite literally anything. Thank you! :)
So happy to see a new video from one of my fav creators! Keep going
YOURE A FLOP QUEEN
Slay love u
congrats on 100k, Joe!
u deserve a new rose toy 🌹🌹
When you introduced Queen Deborah as "a tiktok famous funeral director, don't ask" I felt that
This is absolutely hilarious to someone who doesn’t have Tik tok
This type of intricate shit being created by online subculture communities, is what i love about internet and is the true core essence what makes the internet great.
As a person with severe depression, these things is one of many reasons why i'm still exist today without commit su1c1de. It's so senseless, meaningless that it's funny
I love this fun, silly, light hearted part of the internet.
whos here after discovering jiafei was actually a real person???
Me 💀
me😂😂😂I saw her on the Chinese tiktok and I just immediately came here to see
What???
It's actually crazy. She's real 😭
hearing all of this delivered in such a serious tone with such intellectual integrity. it’s an indescribable experience
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE DAY IVE BEEN BORN JOE
thank god queen jiafei supports indie artists like Eminem and ariana grande
Also don't forget to donate to the families of the survivors of the badussy war
BEEN WAITING FOR WOOLONG AND DOBBY
YES FR THANK U FOR TALKING ABOUT THEM
As a proud Floptropican and supporter of President Deborah and Jiafei’s products I would never imagine trying to explain this all to someone who’s not chronically on the internet 💀💀💀
nah fr tho, we gon be sent to an assylum trying to explain dis
Your embarrassing
@@rishikaparikh232 😂😂
Imagine trying to explain this to a 16th medieval century peasant
I love this is so serious yet so unserious and I genuinely needed somebody to tell me that she wasn’t real. Lol.
shes real in our hearts okay 😢
NOOO QUEEN JIAFEI IS REAL 😍🥰
Right. Every video this channel does, I'm hooked.
@@aneyokuTURNS OUT SHE’s REAL
I remember looking at Jiafei and being like "She doesn't seem... Real. There is no life to her or anything." and behold she isn't real. I loomed her up and was like "Wheew. Technology is creepy."
DOBBY AND WOOLONG ARE REAL! THEY'RE THE REAL QUEEN

It was recently revealed that the woman in the photo is actually real and not AI. She came out about it on TikTok.
She is a real person 😭😭 I just saw a video about her response to the memes, she’s like “How did my photos get into international website?”
I feel like a protagonist in a Lovecraft story discovering secrets man was not meant to know and feeling myself unable to stop from digging deeper. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH LORE
UPDATE: JIAFEI IS A REAL PERSON. THE USER FROM DOUYIN REVEALED IT WAS HER WITH 3 PICTURES FROM 2020
I love floptok. The creativity of it all is so mesmerizing. Hell, they have their own made up country with a FLAG??? And they've had WARS??? It's so fun to watch.
WE EVEN HAVE A NATIONAL ANTHEM
@@simi5558 Cupcakke For the win
This is amazing, I was there from the beginning but stop seeing the whole thing this year, I didn’t know there were new people in the community I’m shocked
FLOPTOK FINDING OUT THE REAL PERSON BEHIND JIAFEI IS LIKE THE SECOND COMING TO JESUS STANS
in kpop fandoms, people merge the names of two members together when they are talking about the relationship between the two+ of them, or the two+ of them in the video acting similarly. with the trio MISAMO being a great example of that. if anyone was wondering why the two names were combined by fans in the first place.
Yep!
true but misamo is the official trio name, like booseoksoon. a lot of these merged names are fanmade
This is not exclusive to Kpop
@@I_love_dr_stonebut we are talking about kpop 😊
stream do not touch xx
Many people think that the country of FlopTropica and the Potaxie planet are two separate realities but FlopTropica is actually a whole continent in the PotaxiEarth
The fact that Jiafei isn't a real person has me shaken to my core... I thought she was some k-pop star that everyone was obsessing over; explaining her extreme popularity (I mean it's not hard to get that popular when you're already famous right)... I need a moment...
DW SHE’S REAL! We found her
As a veteran citizen of floptropica I sincerely appreciate your contribution to educating non-flops💗💗💗💗

One thing i'd like to add is the importance of kpop tiktok and generally kpop culture. I was part of kpop tiktok in early 2021 and the jiafei bots were a huge thing back then. When the memes with the broken english started, kpop tiktok started to break apart from the jiafei sphere as it was viewed as offensive towards asian people. Despite that, im pretty sure that a minimum of half of all people who know jiafei have had a 3rd/4th gen kpop stan phase during their lifes. Also disproportionately many jiafei remixes cover kpop songs.
Asides the influence from the kpop sphere we need to acknowledge that jiafei has a huge queer fanbase and basically the whole philosophy with DaBoyz is based on straight men versus the LGBTQ community.
Asides that you really made a great video, i almost started getting emotional fr😭 Since 2021 i always thought of it as an unimportant side event on my phone whenever im online but as the years passed i start to realize that it is a constant in my and for sure for many other people's lives. Im sure there are many floptropicans under us in real life without knowing so i think it would be cool if we connected more within our community. This is actually serious because we could become really significant one day as one of the few cultures which have a sense of identity despite geographical barriers. We are all around the world.
Finally a hero has come to chronicle the legend of Floptropica
You’re becoming one of my favourite channels. You make videos of the most silly and mundane topics but you do it so well. It really is a talent to take obscure things and turn it into something so interesting and super engaging, I applaud you. This channel is underrated imo. Hope you’re safe and well, keep up the fantastic work. Sending love from Australia 👍✌️🙏❤️✨🇦🇺🐨🦘
DOBBY AND WOOLONG ARE GOING TO DESTROY AUSTRALIA

@xX_Xxboyx are you talking about A grass but you can't touch
I was there when Deeptok was created... seeing the community still thrive to this day is magical
I watched this documentary with so much interest, I've never been so focused. Thank you for clearing everything up because without information floptok is confusing
I still remember when President Deborah gave Jiafei a Flopel Peace Prize for her efforts in the Badussy war to save us all, and her useful products. Her speech was so emotional with her thanking Dua Lipa for her effort too, and remembering our fallen comrade Taylor Swift.
OMG i remember that. It was so emotional and I shed a tear 😩😭💅💅💅
as a old gen and a floptropica citizen, its great to see my queen jiafei getting the recognition she deserves
This is so helpful and I appreciate how in depth it is!
I started seeing her name when I looked up Cupcakke remixes and got confused. I had no idea how deep this rabbit hole would go.
HUGE UPDATE: Ranvision just uploaded a TikTok 51 minutes ago as I write this comment proving Jiafei is a photo of a real person!!! She's an influencer on that Chinese TikTok app thing

I've seen Jiafei and CupcakKe remixes come to life on tik tok, and I think that's the core event that led me to develop schizophrenia
Cupcakke remixes were famous before Tiktok even existed sis

HOW ABOUT DOBBY(XIAOXIAO) AND WOOLONG
Devorando 💋
As a former rotten k-pop addicted teenager, I knew the Jiafei name is somehow associated with Miss A. I just forgot they were two different people and just assumed one of the members went to China and made a separate career as a solo artist instead. This video is news to me.
Also, I just download TikTok last month and I′m still clueless with the internet culture of the app. Such a strange platform.
JIAFEI IS FAKE, DOBBY AND WOOLONG ARE REALER THAN EVERYTHING JIAFEI WISHES SHE COULD BE
Same omg i thought she went through a different phase after kpop 😭
As a newgen, I just wanna say thank you for explining so much to me.
I have only been enjoying their memes and never really actually learned the origins and history of floptok / JiaFei.
Thank you so much and jeep SERVING joe❤.
God, I love the power and utter chaos of TikTok-lore. Jiafei, you’re an icon. We love you. (Stream Miss A btw)
Audibly gasped when I saw the thumbnail..the time has come...
I didn't realise how long ago the product selling bot accounts were everywhere 😭 I remember the racism allegations nd all. I feel like a veteran
This entire controversy is reminding me that people on tiktok truly need to understand what an actual problem is
I honestly wasn’t there when the jiafei trend began but i was there when the potaxies community started and just wanted to say altho i know the video is about jiafei but i wanted to say also that “potaxie” it’s not just a misspronunciation of potassium. It has very much to do with the gender inclusive language and non binary community bc basically for those who don’t know in spanish everyword is gendered, and adjectives are either masculine or femenine so when queer people and feminists (bc the words that include a group of people the gender neutral is masculine always) strted to complain about not having a gender neutral term to refer to other’s they started using an “e” termination instead of “a”(typically femenine) or “o” (typically masculine) to make a gender inclusive language. Many people took it as a good thing and many other’s didn’t, but the thing is that in the potaxie community adopted this and now you can only communicate with inclusive language. I don’t know the reason why but that’s why there are so many “e” and so many “x” (another alternative termination for a gender inclusive language) in the potaxies videos. Hope someone finds this interesting bc idk what im doing with my life with all this info within me tbh…
Thank you for commenting this! I didn’t know this, so this is actually very helpful! Thank you! :)
so happy to see all the new members of floptropica arriving ❤ jiafei lore will takeover the world 😍
One funny fact abt Jiafei and Floptok culture is that it also exists in Brazil and got a kinda huge portuguese speaking community w its own memes similar to the potaxie
THIS JUST IN AS OF OCTOBER 24TH 2023 CHINESE TIKTOK HAS CONFIRMED THAT SHE IS A REAL PERSON NO JOKE
I was miles away from thinking this video would talk about Miss A and I'm here for it.
This is officially my comfort video i literally crack up every single time i watch it
I can't believe we made a meme out of actual scammers 💀
You made this right before the real Jiafei was discovered 😂
I love that we now know jiafei is real and her name is dai dai
As a Chinese person who was raised in a fairly Chinese bubble growing up, I find this all very entertaining and not racist. The English translations coming from mainland China are atrocious just generally (Google Translate being blocked) and the product ads were basically forced onto people anyway. The main way it might feel racist to me is when people ascribe specifically Japanese, Korean etc cultural attributes (aside from kpop) to her when she is nearly entirely composed from Chinese sources.
In any case, there's something to be said about the PRC's official attempts at spreading soft power abroad failing miserably and being completely upstaged by an invented persona associated with low quality product advertisements, very explicit themes, and run primarily by LGBTQ teens/young adults!
Hola recomiendo buscar remixes potaxies, son un poco bizarros pero divertidos!!
Actually an intensely accurate analysis
The word Potaxie is not only a mispronunciation of the word Potasio, it also is changed to be gender-neutral. In Spanish words ending with the letter o are often masculine and words ending with the letter a are often femenine, this has led to many non-binary people wanting to be referred as neither changing the final letter to an e. Therefore instead of saying Potaxias as in "female followers of the ›
«Potaxio» goddess" we ended up saying Potaxies to be more inclusive
And that's also the reason potaxies are fighting "fifes". It comes from "fifa" which is an adjective used to describe sexist guys that are really into soccer (it's important to remember the importance of soccer in Latin American culture). So "fifa" comes from the fifa soccer video game, that these guys tend to play a lot. This guy is a fifa! (Singular) -> This guys are fifas (plural) -> Fifes (plural and gender neutral).
