This thread is for the discussion of a phenomenon (or a collection of closely related, intertwined phenomena) that has become a recurrent topic of discussion within many different threads relevant to the online fringes of Generation Z. This OP will not be comprehensive by any stretch - this is just to provide a dedicated spot to discuss this specific problem. If you don't like reading about zoosadism, child exploitation, or other types of depraved shit in that vein, I'd recommend skipping this one.

In short, there is a serious problem around online edgy zoomer communities of some (not all) members of these spaces increasingly engaging in (what they call) the """ironic""" spreading of degeneracy, animal abuse, and CSAM. This behavior, which is almost always perpetuated by small groups of users that organize on Discord, Telegram, and/or Matrix, is very often comorbid with sadistic / exploitative tendencies, with group members often also being involved in the commission and trading of self-harm content (such as "cutsigns", when a person cuts someone else's username into themselves), and/or the direct grooming, exploitation, and humiliation of the mentally ill (oftentimes even extending this to children).

While this type of behavior is certainly not exclusive to groups that orbit edgy zoomer communities, it is these edgy zoomer-centric groups that have brought this distinct, repeating pattern of behavior into the limelight, due in large part to the sheer quantity of these types of groups orbiting and targeting Soyjak.Party (arguably the most influential community on the fringes of online zoomer culture). Additionally, groups like the Foodists and the UTubeTrollPolice (both of which have fucked with the sharty in the past and also both engage in the open distribution of animal snuff and CSAM) have gotten attention from popular zoomer YouTubers such as DJ Cook and Parlo, with the latter highlighting the UTTP's connections to the very-much non-ironic pedophile ring "764".

If you haven't heard of 764 by now, I envy you. I'll just let the FBI PSA about them speak for itself:

(https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2023/PSA230912)
(Our thread on 764 and associated communities)

It isn't uncommon for there to be crossover between these types of groups, or at the very least deliberate copycatting, especially when it comes to "irony" groups copycatting 764 or its equally unironically pedophilic offshoot groups. Case in point: Alan Filion, the person behind Torswats, was a Foodist, but also claimed to have connections to 764, stating in leaked chatlogs that he was extorting people "764 style". When I was originally digging into Alan and his group of friends (who were also involved in """ironic""" pedophilia and zoosadism), I set aside a section of the OP to outline this phenomenon of degeneracy, sadism, and Evil being shielded under the auspices of "irony" (including examples outside of zoomer spheres), and highlighted how they all seemed to eerily mirror each other in tactics and proclivities, even when there was no discernible reason for this to be the case:
The Cancer That Is Killing The Internet
Discord: Not Even Once

This style of "trolling" is far from unique to [Torswats' group], and I'd go so far as to say that it isn't just coincidence that so many groups, completely independent of each other, all arrived at the same trolling method, or that the overwhelming majority of them also share a disturbing """""ironic""""" affinity for varying fetishes and paraphilias.

Again, it isn't coincidence. It's pathology. See if you can spot any patterns between the following examples:

... and other noteworthy examples include:
  • MORTiS / Rachel Santos, an "animation meme" YouTuber, zoophile, and all-around depraved lunatic who organized a Discord "cult" of people (mostly assumedly children) who murdered their pets in her name,
  • America First, a meta-ironic (read, unironic) pedophile ring of lolicons, CSAM distributors, child molesters, and anti-age-of-consent advocates disguised as a pro-White political movement targeted towards zoomers,
  • Bubblebowl Technologies, a Discord-based VRChat trolling group that convinces and/or extorts children and the mentally ill into hurting themselves (either through cutting or burning), destroying their belongings / household, and getting them to eat and smear shit on themselves while on camera,
  • Pranknet / Prank University, a degenerate late-2000's prank-calling group that tricked unsuspecting service workers into drinking other people's urine and harbored convicted child molesters in their group, and
  • Skibidi Farms / NoLimitsPedia, a Discord-centered group of spurned-soyteen failtrolls dedicated to making their own Kiwi Farms and Encyclopedia Dramatica but with child sexual abuse material.

The above list is far from comprehensive, but it's enough to illustrate the following points:
  • this shit is a serious problem,
  • it's a problem happening simultaneously in many different places entirely independent from each other,
  • it for whatever reason seems to be having an especial impact on Gen Z, and
  • Discord is a tool of the antichrist.



While this last bit is more so about a broader problem that encompasses way more horrid shit than just the phenomenon described above, I would be remiss not to mention it, as it's another significant problem that's heavily affected Generation Z and is currently affecting Generation Alpha, and many believe it to be one of the largest causes of the behavior described above.

The influx of children onto the Internet (following neglectful parents giving their infants iPads to placate them) has been met by an equally proportioned mobilization of pedophiles seeking to exploit and abuse them. Like many people dumbfucks in the thread have stated in an attempt to handwave away this thread's concerns, this behavior isn't new or novel. However, what they (seemingly deliberately) fail to realize is that the scale of this problem is completely incomparable to the early Internet, and that the amount of time it's been allowed to operate at this scale is in and of itself a problem worth addressing, with many believing that this is what's causing the increasingly noticeable scourge of "ironic" degeneracy and sadism among zoomers.

To rule out some aspect(s) of western culture or century-long glowie conspiracies as primary causes of the phenomenon, look no further than the Chinese cat torturers: Chinese Telegram groups consisting predominantly of children and people in their early 20's recording and distributing videos of themselves torturing and killing stray cats, even targeting specific cats that had become popular on Chinanet in order to "troll" fans of the cat. Seems to share many similarities to the groups we have in America, yet formed in a completely different culture, largely disconnected from the level of influence that the intel agencies have here. Per Occam's Razor, it's vastly more likely that the common denominator here (that being the Internet connecting children directly to pedophiles that want to exploit them) is ultimately to blame.

With all of that being said, here's a short list of the threads we have covering this greater issue of pedophiles purposefully exposing children to their depravity:
  • Roblox - pedophiles flood one of the most popular children's games with NSFW content in hopes children see it and become "corrupted"; Roblox responds by suing people reporting on it.
  • VRChat - a very similar situation to Roblox, but on a 13+ game that's even more NSFW; similarly involves a moderation team that seems to be in favor of children being exposed to porn, allegedly.
  • Boykisser - pedophiles co-opt a faggot meme and use it to prey on children on Reddit and Discord; Joseph Cox of 404 Media doesn't like that we've exposed this.
  • GigglyGoonclown - prolific porn-addicted tranny pedophile whose full Discord DM history got leaked; made well-known the depraved fetish of EPI, or "early porn introduction": exposing children to porn.
  • F1NN5TER - former children's Minecraft streamer turned forced-feminization fetish streamer; is friends with Jean "Sodacat" Hollywood, an EPI pedophile outed in the GigglyGoonclown leaks.
  • Chris Tyson - tranny former sidekick of MrBeast (the biggest YouTuber in the world who is very popular with young children) that was outed for exposing his child fans to porn in his Discord.
  • 2chen / Sturdychan / 4/trash/ - a pedophile-friendly imageboard (and the closest thing they have to their own outpost on 4chan itself) that openly encourages and glorifies early porn introduction.
  • Operation Red Balloon / Modern Elsagate - EPI pedophiles on YouTube mass-uploading NSFW videos with children's tags.
  • And of course, trannies and furries at large.
Again, while this is a separate, more broad issue than the topic of "ironic" degeneracy and sadism among zoomers, many believe (with good reason!) that this effectively industrial-scale, international, systemic issue of parents allowing their children unrestricted access to the Internet at a young age, allowing for pedophiles to expose them to their depravity and/or personally abuse them at an unimaginable scale, is what is ultimately behind the aforementioned phenomenon.

The culmination of decades of the porn addiction epidemic not being treated as an serious social contaigion.

animal abuse
Nothing is sacred in post-structuralist/anti-foundationalist/critical/whatever society and being edgy requires people to push the envelope past its breaking point.

Zoomers were children not too long ago. They probably don't see it as bad because "they were once kids and it isn't as bad between two kids"
 
There is no fixing this outside of coming up with a working age restriction and strict moderation, something like requiring an ID to even use the offending services and then walling off servers/sites containing degenerates and degenerate content. It is a horrible consequence of freedom of access.
 
Ironic X, in an online context, almost always becomes actual X (sub X for absolutely anything). This seems true for almost any topic, and so you have to be very careful doing anything ironically on the Internet because not only does that intent not come across to other parties, it feeds back to your own views on things and cements actual, firm belief in whatever it was that you were previously just being edgy and ironic about.
One of those 'stare into the abyss' situations, writ large. Likely this effect is much more pronounced in younger people with more malleable brains, less established world views and societal positioning, and underdeveloped reasoning abilities. Not to mention a lack of grounding in 'real world' socialization that is unprecedented in previous generations that grew up without always-on digital communication. If you grew up always online, what's gonna be more real to you than whatever nonsense your 'friends' are parroting in your little interaction spaces?

Once again for the people in the back: Minors should be banned from accessing the Internet. They never will be, but the world and the future would be much better place if they were. Get access to that shit when you're 16/18/21 when you're judged mature enough to vote, die for zog, drive a car, and drink beer. Allowing unsupervised exposure to today's open Internet before the age of majority is a massive mistake.
 
I'm guessing it can probably be sub-divided into different groups of people, since you've really got a few different overlapping demographics, but also some that don't really overlap like chuds and troons
  • Trolls - Foodists, YTP, even soyteens to an extent
  • Troons
  • Gooners
  • Chuds and Groypers
  • Maybe even Incels?
If i had to guess, content and communities of this nature did exist online even 10+ years ago, but back then it was mostly constrained to places like 4chan or Tumblr and demographics like Bronies or Weebs. Now, you can fall down the rabbit hole somewhere like Reddit or Twitter, and end up on /r9k/ or some groomer's discord server pretty easily.

Discord, more widespread use of social media, and smartphones probably being the main culprits for it spreading far more easily now.

And easy enough for already online raised Millennials or elder Zoomers to lead younger Zoomers and Gen Alpha down said rabbit holes.

It's not like animals were treated better in ye olden days before the internet, it is only relatively recently that the West even considers animal rights a thing in the first place, and the third world does no such thing still. Animals (read "pets") really have been "sacred" in any shape or form for the past 4 decades or so. I'd say the rise of over the top contrarianism all over the internet is more to blame here.
The ones that are just spamming it do it to shock people same way it's been done probably since the inception of the internet, this in itself is nothing surprising. Those that are "ironically" jacking off to it are a whole different can of worms.

I'd argue that the only thing everyone can agree on nowadays is that harming animals is bad. Therefore masturbating to animal torture is the most edgy catch-all thing you can do
 
Many zoomers these day will just simply grow up from shitty YT kids content, TikTok, free Robuxes, Skibidi Toilet and becoming iPad kids and narcissistic kids who only think they themselves are more important than those people that they see like lowly peasants under their feet.
Therefore, parents should have been there to keep an eye on what their children are watching, and if situations really got worse, they should restrict their children’s internet privileges and confiscate their devices for a long time and let them fucking touch grass.
There are shit loads of influence that simply mushes children’s mindset and frontal lobe so much that they become what people truly feared for their life. That includes porn addiction and gooning below 18. And gooning is extremely fucking shit already.
 
I don't have any specific links but I am aware of the existence of certain cliques of iFunny that post this kind of stuff.
I believe that iFunny is one of the large areas that these community orbit, or at least steal memes from. Many funny things got their start there before being spammed to death on discord or twitter.

iFunny works by a tagging system, and by going in depth on tags into more obscure corners you can make your way to various underground iFunny communities. Most on "deep iFunny" as its called are just harmless shitposters, but some tags will get you some interesting iconography and accounts. I say that anyone interested in investigating the iFunny side of these hurtcore zoomers should check out any iFunny tag that uses any kind of edgy/occult/hurtcore names, phrases, or symbolism. I'm sure that there's some familiar faces lurking in these depths, or at least familiar memes and symbols.

The format is https://ifunny.co/tags/TAGNAME, so the kiwifarms tag would be https://ifunny.co/tags/kiwifarms.

Archived examples here:

Given that these types of people use irony as a shield for acting horrible, I think any "ironic" joke or use of these edgy symbols should be assessed with some amount of suspicion, but not inherit guilt. We've all made ironic, edgy jokes before, but I don't think many of us have ever used O9A iconography, while posting chudjaks, posting memes about peter skully, posting foodizen content, and all while having a TriHard community profile picture. Anyone doing these things while posting/orbiting content that appeals to children should get special attention.

As usual: archive fucking everything.

I think that a more solid definition of these groups is needed, from what i've seen they tend to:
  • be sexually odd (hurtcore, sadistic, autogynophilic, pedophillia)
  • adopt the memes, mannerisms, and iconography of right-wing groups (particularly Seigetards, soyteens, and ifunny shitposters)
  • congregate primarily online in invite-only chatrooms or highly closed-off forums
  • target vulnerable individuals for poaching into their groups or harassment (children and the mentally retarded are often big picks)
  • make a name for themselves by raiding people, stirring up controversy (i.e, "technoblade deserved to die" type of content), or otherwise piggy-backing off of a proper "for the lulz" trolling attempts
Even theses qualifiers are a bit too broad for my liking, but I think it covers everyone from your formally chud, self-hating pedotranny Goonclowns to your satanic nazi organizations, edgy raid groups, and all flavors of sissy diaper nazi to trans strasserists inbetween.
More qualifiers to narrow this down from just baseless schizo-babble into a more identifiable definition would be welcome. Hopefully, if these people can be defined and identified, their awful behavior can become more well-known and avoided.
 
IMO, Commentary Youtubers are the ones most responsible for the zoomer sadism epidemic. Groups of paraphilic psychopaths online have always been around (the idea guys) but until 2021 they've been pretty obscure and had absolutely no influence on culture or the access to children and vulnerable people they do now.
Most of the really depraved shit you see now originates from Foodistzen and Homophobe Army circles, and you can thank leafysperg content mill outrage reporters for exposing thousands of preteens and speds to them.

DJ Cook is absolutely the worst offender when it comes to intentionally giving these people an audience for clout. From the saturated clickbait cartoon thumbnails he has for every video about them, you can clearly tell he 100% knows what he's doing and is actively advertising these predators to kids on purpose.
If these faggots just didn't feed the trolls and introduce them to a massive wave of potential underage victims, I don't think the FBI would be having to waste taxpayer money trying and failing to put down discord cults grooming hundreds of children into hurting themselves.
I have a suspicion that these sadist cults and the massive content mill channels may be more interconnected than people here realize. Foodists have a habit of creating short spamming channels and robux spam communities, and almost all of them use the EXACT SAME FUCKING ARTSTYLE as DJ Cook and other leafyspergs.
I might get called schizo if I think these 2 parties are in contact with each other and are collaborating for mutual gain (maybe even circlejerking to 'P together idfk) but I think it's worth investigating.

For context, Bladify is OfficerBMT aka the foodist who got banned from the UtubeTrollPolice a couple of months ago for spamming CSAM. Both him and reginmyre were allegedly both in a discord call livestreaming DD with most of the other little sadistic freaks watching along too.
At this point I don't think it would be an overreach for the feds to just immediately imprison anyone associated with these groups.
 
Another thing these people do which is identical to each over is how they make dox videos.
Heres one dox made by 'cordtrannys against bu5t

and another one made by "rw" twitter users (https://twitter.com/ReportGODgc) against a tradcath larper.

Notice anything? their pratically identical. It just shows how similiar these people truly are.

I think I can try and explain why this is the case.

Gen Z has almost entirely been raised by the internet. That's obvious. What's not entirely obvious are some of the more subtle side effects that slowly create a massive effect overtime. One of these is the fact that you're incentivized to say and do anything for attention, because otherwise you're deprived of attention, and if you're a kid, your parents are probably too lazy to give you the attention you need nowadays. So, they'll start doing these things "ironically" due to the nature of the internet being very unserious, and to an extent, edgy, deviant and irreverent. They can use it as a shield to deflect any criticism too by just stating that "it's ironic bro", and the term has become overused due to instances like that where it absolutely doesn't apply. Because of its overuse and what I'd consider misuse of the word, it's lost its definition and these kids have subconsciously picked up the habit of using it as an excuse or defense against blowback.

Eventually, they get bored of how deviant they're being, so they ramp it up to more extreme lengths, similar to how porn addicts consume increasingly more extreme forms of porn because it doesn't get them hard anymore, and this creates a snowballing effect. Mix in the fact that the internet is basically an echo chamber due to how social media works, their likely addiction to other forms of easily accessible but mentally damaging content, like pornography and gore, possible grooming from other people and peer pressure from friends and social groups, that snowballing effect is massively exacerbated and leads to what we have here.

I don't think I explained this the best I can, and I'd need to probably sit down and write my thoughts down concisely and spend a few hours, but I think this is what's going on. I've seen many of my past friends go seemingly through the same thing, whether it's being "ironically" trans to then being actually trans (but still claiming it's ironic to an extent), "ironically" posting and seeing gore to actually just straight up posting it everywhere and becoming absolutely hooked on it, or "ironically" being a gooner/porn addict to being a filthy degenerate openly. This effect seems to also apply to people who simply joke about themselves being that, although I don't quite know how to explain what I mean by that part.
