idk who needs to hear this but there’s always some ridiculous thing that’s popular with the kids.
this is boomer shit.
Isn’t this a kind of kink shaming? I know the guy on the left is from some anime, the skibidi toilet is a meme for younger guys, why is it a problem? If you don’t want to buy it, don’t buy it. But if someone is into this things just let them have fun. I don’t understand what is your problem.
Kink shaming? Is attraction to trading cards a prominent enough sexual deviancy that we cant make fun of the fact that skibidi toilet is popular enough to make merch?
Well, I’m not into trading cards, so I’m not 100% sure what others use them for :) Maybe bullying would be a better term, I’m not a native English speaker
Ok, I understand what you mean. Just thought “kink shaming” was a weird choice :P
i agree. but i’d like to add that i don’t think skibidi toilet is just a meme (and i say that not to say memes are less valued). I was told it’s ‘cringe children meme’, went to actually watch it, and its a big series that is just amazing for what it is. its a passion filled action series with some really great direction, lighting, animation, etc at times. And Im so glad that something like this exists and is popular
Isnt it just source filmmaker? So it actually not created with a professional tool, it’s created with passion yeah, and it has its artistic values from some point of view, but the “cringe meme” is still the best way it can be described. Another well known ancient meme created with source filmmaker is “shrek is love, shrek is life”
“cringe meme” has as much artistic value as anything. there is no “some point of view” here. source filmaker being used doesnt change anything. shrek is love, shrek is life is different, but i wouldnt say its not artistic either, and not artistic limited to just ‘some point of view’
To put this as simply as possible: people are allowed to dislike things you find value in, for any or no reason. Whether you consider their reasoning valid or not doesn’t matter.
They are allowed to think that it doesn’t have value. It doesn’t have to effect the value you find in it.
I find artistic and comedic value in youtube poops. I’m not going to sit and argue that they are high art or something that needs or deserves to be respected by the wider world. I’m not going to be offended if others find them dumb, childish, or whatever else. I enjoy them and I respect the effort put into them. That’s enough.
And about Skibidi Toilet in particular, it bugs me that we have something like 16 years of machinima, content created with Garrys Mod, and content created in the source engine, and what seems to be making the most money and public awareness (outside of RoosterTeeth) is something that started as meme of a song with a singing head emerging from a toilet. There’s so much other content made using the same tools (and that was made with less tools) that deserved more than what they got when compared to this.
Honestly I really like the skibidi toilet series. I dont think the creator is seeing any profits from these cash-grabs, though
your post does not communicate this in the slightest. the title is hard to interpret but seems to be implying the issue with the image is that there are skibidi cards at all. There is no other descripter anywhere. ‘companies taking ideas from less legally powerful creators, and selling them for a quick profit’ is a great point, but there is nothing alluding to that here
I don’t like talking about it because what is there to do? Not buy something I wasn’t going to buy anyway? Throw money at a creator who stopped making stuff after his passion project got labeled “cringe” and was turned into a perpetual punching bag for the forseeable future?
BTW if I’m wrong and he’s still active, that’s pretty cool and I’d like to see what he’s up to. Also the One Punch Man tcg is great, which was actually the reason I posted this at all. I figured normalizing it would be helpful.
what’s the joke/points here?
I dk but I am now officially old. Just spent past 15 minutes researching what skibidi is and still have come no closer to understanding what the collectibles are in the picture.
It’s apparently a weird Russian music video that I am just hearing of that spun off to a weird animated toilet video? Which neither looks like what’s in the picture. I only heard some kids saying it before and I had assumed they were trying to make semi-auto gunfire noises.
In the stickers case, it’s a cgi sci-fi war focused show with minute long episodes.
It spawned from a silly cgi video with a meme song on it.
Mostly it refers to this show now days, but people also use it for the song and as a meme word on its own.
No, you pretty much got it. It became this weird meme and, as with everything that becomes popular, someone’s trying to monetize it with toys, collectibles, Fortnite skins, and now a cinematic universe, because of course.
the character in the skibidi pack is a character in the series. i dont think there’s any age related reason for it being confusing, you haven’t seen the skibidi series so you shouldnt be expected to know who that is. if you are interested in knowing, the skibidi toilet fan wiki may help or you can watch the series on youtube, but again not necessary.
i dont know who the person from one punch man is on the cover, i assume its a character from a series and thats all i need to know. i understand the difference might be that people arent aware skibidi toilet is a series, so ig the confusion is valid. hope this answers it tho
I never even discovered it was a series. I saw it was a music video, that someone then made a heads popping out of a toilet video of on YouTube. I guess after that someone somehow wrote and created an entire animated tv show based on the toilet video?
The other cards are One Piece, not One Punch Man. I recognize those at least.
What your seeing is Hawk Tuah, but in trading card form.
“How can I monetize this random ass thing I made that popped off?”
very reductionist to label the skibidi toilet series just as a way to monetize the ‘thing that popped off’
You think it’s reductionist to label the random ass thing with various merchandising and a film in talks?
