    First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn't have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh

    I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it

        The problem with happy tree friends is it was the same joke every single time. Like ok yeah, the juxtaposition is amusing but that's literally it

        Stickdeath and its seemless transition from slightly mask on racism to fully mask off racism after 9/11 hitler-detector

      Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.

                There's some good stuff from that generation too though admittedly. Homestar Runner was at its peak around the same time.

              I hated it too.

              I'm getting some weird memory that could be completely wrong but I believe my sister was showing me these and excitedly said "this is banned in Cuba!" I was always disgusted by it despite liking "edgy" humor like idk aqua team or whatever and if Cuba banned it, good, though I'm struggling to imagine why that would happen beyond there being poor internet access or just blocking American IPs

            I have a soft spot for happy tree friends, I didn't have internet back then and people shared weird shit on CDs. That was my first contact with edgy humor like that

      skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty "idiots of gmod" shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn't get the negative reaction from all the "adults" considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I'm in my thirties now

        I actually loved Mad Magazine as a kid. Got into it watching the Cartoon Network show and a relative happened to have a bunch of old mad magazines and a Sega Genesis from when he was a kid. Had a blast playing Sonic and reading Mad Magazine

    I still maintain that skibidi toilet is very obvious something came up by a zoomer and that it doesn't really resemble stuff that millennials liked back in the day. The fact that it has a plot and an overarching theme while being dystopian already distances itself from lol randumb XD humor.

    I think what's happening is that the creator might be a zoomer, but the target audience is gen alpha. It's like how a lot of early Newgrounds stuff were created by gen x but consumed by millennials. The first by-millennials-for-millennials creations were ytp which were created by millennials who were exposed to older Newgrounds stuff.

    It's extra cringe for a zoomer to shit on skibidi toilet because it's very much a product of zoomer meme culture.

    Making fun of skibidi toilet is liberalism

    No wonder this place is constantly complaining about be lonely and having no gyatt rizz 😔

    Skibidi toilet makes more sense than 95% of SFMs from back in the day. Like there's an ongoing storyline and everything. People who hate on it but watched other sfm/ytp nonsense back in the day just have boomer ass mindsets

    I'm roughly the same age and don't feel the need to or desire ti understand. A lot of youth culture is about being inscrutable and distinct from older people culture, and that's fine. Let kids have their fun
