This whole trend exemplifies why I particularly loathe the “mondo gore community” There’s enjoying horror movie and extreme horror films to an extent as those are still special effects (with hopefully not scummy directors, looking at you Shawn “Lucifer Valentine” fedorchuck) but then with gore hunters they dehumanize victims of violence and disasters and play into the propaganda of many who film and distribute (may leitz had a good discussion about this in her iceberg where she name drops the bait title but amazing “there’s no such thing as drug cartels” book)

[@OpaleTube]

@@ladygrey4113 to quote, most of those mondo movies kinda makes fun of how they can make someone die on a extreme and absolutely ridiculous way as possible, that's why it is fun to watch but yeah those gore videos under filter is just very messed up, for the victims and their families

I'm a millennial. Back in the 2000s it was kind of a rite of passage to accidentally watching shock videos. It taught us not to click on random links, not to venture too deep into the web.

Hi Jess, I just came across those ai vids on the Tok and some of those Minions related content got kinda banned but there is some other version with Islamic State vids with A.i filters that are quite unnerving and uncomfortable to watch. Behind every video there is links to some Russian telegram or servers, I didn't click on it, I don't wanna dive into it too deeply

Not long ago, there have been jumpscare Ronnie videos popping up made by a TF2 fan. Not animated, the real clip of Ronnie’s last stream. And the rest of the video is something completely random. Like a clip from a show or a song. Update: Not only is there a minion version of Ronnie, but now there’s a Christmas ai video that includes the rest (censored obviously) but now everything is festive. Like it turned him into Santa Claus.

[@Bitter_coda]

God that’s scary I’m having a good Christmas right now. I hope that vid gets removed (the Christmas one and the minion one)

Since most of tiktok moderators are bots they don't see anything wrong with the video sadly since the minions are covering it, so it depends if reporting will do something or not Edit: also almost majority of the videos i reported came out as "no violation found"

I saw one with the "remember, no russian" cod level, i think it was also a meme criticizing the trend

[@phoenixsandas]

There was one I saw with some acc called minion ai or sumthing but the vid said “man claps for gay marriage” and it’s some Christmas song with some guy in the video talking, then a few pop noises and there’s red stuff on his face. Can’t tell what rlly happens since it’s so bad quality.

Hi! Im a gen alpha kid on tiktok and ive seen other ai vids. They aren't gore per say but they are weird. For example theres this trend where they take characters and make them homeless or the ai baby fashionshow trend where they put babies in weird outfits.
