I asked an 18yo I know whether 'rizzler' was actually a thing people say and they said no. 'Rizz', however, is a common term.
46At my partner's house, there are two cats: Mr. And Mrs. Rizzler. The teenagers in the house started calling them that and everyone went with it. Before then, the term was used basically every single time I saw any of them. It seems to most often be used as nonsense or just a word to shout at each other while trying to be annoying, but sometimes in the actual context of charisma (for example, a charismatic classmate was described as a "rizzler").
So yeah, it's a thing in some circles, but I'm hopeful this is an isolated incident.
25It's gunna be a thing in the next Batman, bet.

422 here, we use it sometimes, although basically exclusively ironically (e.g. for a "nice guy" demanding sex)

I like this so much better than all the bitching about how surreal and unfamiliar gen alpha's shit is.
Something that's really novel when you're a kid is taking a strange premise that seems like a one-off gag and making a whole narrative about it. It's why we had flash cartoons built around the premise of "what if Mario met Sonic using DBZ rules" or why some of us watched hour-long amateur movies about the Nostalgia Critic. I'm not saying those things were good, but it's really subversive when you first encounter it, and it's emotionally satisfying to explore the potential of something you liked instead of letting it be a flash in the pan.
So basically, when the kids try to tell me about the Skibidi Toilet's ability to turn even the bleakest situation around, even though I have no idea what the FUCK they're talking about, I understand why it's so riveting to them.
40I'm very disappointed people are making fun of the kids, honestly. It's like people forgot how this is the exact same situation as when we were kids, with the older people making fun of us
I was hoping that the cycle would have been broken with the internet, but I guess not
It's just the next step in the evolution of language, humour, culture, and expression, it happened before, and it will happen again. Except it will be somewhat different this time with the internet allowing complex, instant, and global communication. Things will certainly change and develop much faster than they used to. This to me, however, is just exciting more than anything else, I love novelty and new stuff

You wouldn't want to be from Ohio, Ohio is cringe. This meme is Ohio. The knight must always be sigma to our alpha, rizzzler to our for shizzle my nizzle, our Skibidi to our badgers badgers badgers.
32It's all cringe, always has been.
17That you are from Ohio does not mean you must be ohio.
13what is better? to be born outside Ohio, or to overcome your Ohio nature through great effort?
