Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.

Do you have a source for it being AAVE? Your identity isn’t a source for this even if it happens to be true.

I can’t find anything that claims an origin for it beyond Cenat using it starting a few years back.
