Will the era of brainrot ever end?

Ok, let me respond point by point:

  1. “Political tools”. I just don’t see how brainrot connects to politics. Skibidi Toilet is basically random videos of toilets which was shared in a series. Italian brainrot wasn’t made by one mastermind influencer, it just caught on (many random people post it). If this was really a political tool, we’d see people or groups pushing actual politics through it, but there’s no evidence of that. The whole point is making a laugh, not making someone make serious political decisions from a simple meme.

  2. Stereotypes among kids. That NEVER happens. Words like “alpha” or “sigma” are jokes people throw around, not status symbols that people are bullied over. It’s more like random things to say to make your friends laugh.

  3. Does it rot your brain? No. People who watch or share brainrot memes are just normal. It’s quick entertainment, nothing more. Calling it “malevolent” gives it wayyyyy too much dishonor.

Political tools: Oh yes they are.
Check the translations for the narrations for one such meme called Bombarding Crocodile, which is actually an alligator.

It says this:
Bombarding Crocodile is a f****** flying ALLIGATOR who flies around Gaza and Palestine bombing kids. He doesn’t believe in Allah and feeds in your mother’s spirit. If you translated all that, you’re a b****. Don’t ruin the joke, [insanely adulty word]

Personally, that does agitate the political left wing. The fact that there’s a meme about people dying can just piss off people, and maybe I’m just being sensitive and the rest of the world isn’t so, but there are 3 swear words.

If it’s not a political tool, it’s a tool for the influencers. They’re called influencers for a reason. They want to convey what they want to say to the world, which is that “We hate Islam and Allah and all the kids that believe in it and we want to make fun of them.”

Before the moment I discovered this little translation tucked away in an article in the Italian brainrot wiki, I didn’t hate brainrot that much. It was just annoying to me.

Stereotypes? Oh yes.
I know a lot of kids at my school who are being called Beta, Sigma, Alpha, all the time. Just these three categories.
Maybe most of the kids at your school are nicer, and therefore you can enjoy brainrot better, but I’m getting called a beta all the time, and that’s not all my own problem.

Half of the school is getting called a Beta.
Look, this does sound like a harmful stereotype for me, maybe it depends for you, maybe it doesn’t and you didn’t even notice that there are harmful stereotypes running amok around your school.

Quick entertainment?
I see for way more.

It’s cheap memes.
A way to get a quick buck from YouTube, without actually putting in anything.

Look, again, it all comes down to opinion, and if you see it for high quality memes that are laughable at, well, then keep on doing it. I see it for low quality memes that are more tool than toy.

Let me respond point-by-point:

  1. I'm pretty sure most people (probably 75% or more) don’t even know or care about any supposed “deeper meaning” behind these memes. If you check YouTube Shorts, you won’t see “Bombarding Crocodile bombing kids”. You’ll just see random, absurd actions. Nobody is pausing the video, translating obscure captions, and digging through wiki articles. For almost everyone, it’s just nonsensical humor and nothing else.

  2. I’ve never seen influencers use brainrot memes as actual political tools. Hate speech is not only discouraged but outright banned on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. If something crosses the line, it usually gets taken down. The point of these memes isn’t to promote discrimination, it’s to make people laugh at randomness.

  3. I do understand your frustration about labels like “beta” or “sigma.” I get called “beta” sometimes too. But honestly, it doesn’t affect me. I ignore it, and my friendships or daily life aren’t harmed. For most kids, those terms are just jokes thrown around without real weight, they don’t define your worth unless you let them.

  4. As for quality, most brainrot memes don’t even get traction. Unless someone puts in a lot of effort (which is rare), most clips barely break 5 views. They’re cheap, quick, and random; but that’s exactly what makes them entertaining for some people. Personally, I laugh at the sheer nonsense of it all. Skibidi Toilet is an exception because the creator didn't type Skibidi Toilet video into an AI Video generator, but put effort into it, and got views. Roblox streamers also get views, but that's not because of the brainrot, but the gameplay and commentary.

So while I see where you’re coming from, I don’t think brainrot is nearly as serious as you’re making it.

Plus look at all the people spamming the forum, are they mentioning offensive topics? No, just random, playful spamming :D

Will the era of brainrot ever end?? Bro im wondering!

Yes, there is a few people who are fed up with brainrot and are trying to wipe all the files of any hardware with brainrot, it scans using an AI. It is very illegal to do that so hope they don't, and I don't even know if it is real. But I heard some people are doing it.

take this with message with a grain of salt as I haven't fact-checked it

Вставай,страна огромная,
Вставай на смертный бой
С (brainrot) силой тёмною,
С проклятою ордой.
Пусть ярость благородная ,
Вскипает,как волна
Идёт война народная,
Священная война!
Дадим отпор душителям
Всех пламенных идей,
Насильникам, грабителям,
Мучителям людей.
Пусть ярость благородная
Вскипает, как волна,
Идёт война народная,
Священная война!
Не смеют крылья чёрные
Над Родиной летать,
Поля её просторные
Не смеет враг топтать!
Пусть ярость благородная
Вскипает, как волна,
Идёт война народная,
Священная война!
Гнилой (brainrot) нечисти
Загоним пулю в лоб,
Отребью человечества
Сколотим крепкий гроб!
Пусть ярость благородная
Вскипает,как волна
Идёт война народная,
Священная война!
Вставай,страна огромная,
Вставай на смертный бой
С (brainrot) силой тёмною,
С проклятою ордой.
Пусть ярость благородная
Вскипает, как волна,
Идёт война народная,
СВЯЩЕННАЯ ВОЙНА!!!!!!
HEY STOP WITH UR POLITICS BRO I WAS JUST SAYN

Face it, it would. The influencers made it to be that way.
It’s just a meme, as you said, or really is it?

There are many better memes than this Italian Brainrot!
Go back a few years, look at the memes then, they were less absurd!

You’re not helping the debate on the brainrot side, you’re just spamming, please go away.

“Hate speech is banned on TikTok and YouTube”
And yet it circulated somehow.

The creator of Italian brainrot got his account closed for the narrations.
Since then, no one has gotten banned.

https://italianbrainrot.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Your claim is that nothing is political and hate speech is not within these narrations, or else it would’ve been squeezed out from TikTok long ago.

Look, there’s a warning in the page for Shark in Blue Shoes.

Tralalero Tralala contains content which may be considered offensive or disturbing. Proceed with caution.
Details include: References to (blanked out), along with blasphemy against deities in the lyrics.

If you don’t believe me, go check for yourself.
https://italianbrainrot.miraheze.org/wiki/Tralalero_Tralala

Look, just put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Wouldn’t you be offended if you were Islam and Christian?

https://italianbrainrot.miraheze.org/wiki/Bombardiro_Crocodilo

Same here. Go check for yourself. Be sure that you won’t be disturbed by whatever’s in here.
Again, wouldn’t you be offended if you were Islam?

I’m an atheist, but I don’t support religious blasphemy. Any person who is old enough to understand (around 9 and above) should also respect all religions.

My point is, things like this shouldn’t be passed around by KIDS. And, yet, they are the main ones who are spreading it. Maybe because they don’t understand or they don’t care.
