Fortnite’s AI-generated brainrot characters are here, and I hate it

I do not like the new Fortnite Brainrot Bundle. I consider myself relatively open-minded when it comes to modern memes and ‘brainrot’ content, particularly by the standards of my generation. There’s a craft to the Source animations of Skibidi Toilet, and its humor is rooted in the same absurdism that underpinned many of my favorite shows growing up. Likewise, as a linguist, I find it fascinating how a simple term like “six-seven” can grow into an entire cultural phenomenon, expressing a shared connection almost without the need for meaning.
