i've been trying to avoid it for years now but it's literally in everything unless my diet triples in price

It's high in phytoestrogens for one. They're not the epic feminizer many make them out to be. They are in just about all plant based foods, and can actually boost testosterone in low amounts, because they are weaker than actual estrogen and displace it at receptor sites. Too much and you stimulates the receptors just as much if not more than regular estrogen.
What I think is really bad about soy is that soybean oil is almost entirely omega-6 fats. We have way to much omega-6 fats in the standard American diet, and in much of the western world, due largely to soy being in fucking everything.

Soybeans are relatively cheap protein and fat, so you'll often find soy used as filler in place of more desirable ingredients in pre-packaged foods. Processed soy 'replacement' products (like vegan meat or cheese substitutes) often range from tolerable to terrible, and never as good as the original that the product is trying to replicate. Other than that, soybeans are just fine as long as you don't expect beans to be something they aren't.
Soy boys aren't really a thing; they'd be faggots with or without the soy. Soy milk is just a trend for them right now, like the faggot version of bacon but, ironically, with less meat.

This. Soy really becomes a problem if it's exclusively the only thing you eat (hence the soylent effect).
