I see this phrase used a lot on blahaj lemmy. I’m actually bi but I don’t really like using the word ‘folk’ over ‘people’... it just kinda sounds pretentious, I don't want to be described like a mythical creature

I just want to say I get where you're coming from. It sounds similar to the way people say "fairy folk" which I assume is why you mention mythical creatures. I guess a lot of people in this thread are less familiar with that usage.
