Just when a news story seems impossibly depressing, TikTok can come through and show you a glimmer of hope. In this case, TikTok has been on the damn necks of those seven little shits who (allegedly) raped a female student at Cornell University. The story did not take off in the mainstream news media, at first. Users on social media platforms began posting outraged content decrying the incident, which prompted other outlets to cover it more.
Through some miracle, I have not had any defenders of the young men come up on my FYP, though I’m sure they exist. By and large, users on TikTok are furious at the rapists, the other frat members, Cornell, and the New York district attorney and police officers.
Reminder: Cornell would not be facing this scrutiny now if it had just expelled all of the damn rapists in the first place.
What in the hell is Verity? It does not involve the Colleen Hoover movie, but it kind does involve the Colleen Hoover movie. Verity became a favorite brainrot meme among tweens earlier this summer, around June-July. It comes from a series of videos made by a Canadian YouTuber who goes by ThatMob. The main character is Verity, a sinister AI assistant resembling a giant smiley-face. The meme was largely kept contained within the recesses of Gen Alpha brainrot TikTok, but it has started coming into the mainstream now that people are searching up Verity the movie and coming across a weird smiley-face meme instead.
Someone also made a very annoying song about it. It has more than 35 million views.
