Ok, let me clarify then: I’m black. It comes from American black culture.

Anyone who watches a Kai Cenat stream would immediately clock it just by his and his friend’s speech patterns. This is why reading a Wikipedia line isn’t really enough to understand the breadth of culture. See: everyone in this thread who is making fun of Gen Z/ Gen Aloha/“young people” slang while simultaneously not understanding it actually developed a lot from black and gay culture of Millennials and Gen X globally, and has become mainstream due to these communities becoming more prominent in the media landscape.

Sorry to write a mini-sociological essay, but I don’t care for the “it’s not that deep” aspect of Lemmy when it comes to non-STEM popular culture stuff. It’s pretty deep (and interesting) actually.

I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it’s even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there’s a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.

That’s why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.

But then again, this is Lemmy…it might have been literal…

“Washed” is from sports, though. “X athlete is washed” has existed long before being used in Twitch chat/gaming/esports spaces.

Basically what I was trying to (poorly) convey is you give Twitch chat too much credit, they come up with nothing original in the first place lol

“You participate in society yet you criticize it ☝️🤓” comment.

Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?

Yes, KaiCenat, the most popular African American youtuber. Where do you think he learned it from?

Wikipedia even has a picture of him bro 😭

Rizz isn’t from Twitch chat, it’s AAVE co-opted and then overused incorrectly to the point of making it uncool by suburban teens (like most slang).
