Is there a gendered element to "qiou"? My hypothesis would be young men self describe as it more than women, and I'd love confirmation or invalidation from someone who's more in with Chinese social media.

From the symbol of the word along, no element related to gender

I get that, knowing basic Chinese myself. But e.g. "incel" the word itself has no reference to gender, but it's certainly a gendered identity.

I’m assuming the same.
