Apparently the Kirk shooter was a gryoper who are basically mega bigots and worship Nick Fuentes and shot Charlie Kirk because he wasn’t radical enough

Okay, hold on—legit tryna get all this info out of my brain—I’m seeing that the shooter was a radical leftist guy, not a groyper (which is also something I hadn’t heard of until today, so forgive me if I use it wrong in conversation) who had LGBTQ stances and a trans partner. And dude wrote “hey fascist, catch,” which would typically be leftist language when shooting Charlie Kirk? What the heck?

Also who is Nick Fuentes? The name sounds familiar but I don’t know him?

From what I’m seeing the “radical left” stance that has been taken by the media is a way to demonize democrats. His “trans partner” has not been confirmed and it is possible he lived with a trans person at some point but some reports also say he lived at home. He wrote many memes on the shell casings including the “hey fascist catch” but also stuff like “notices, bulges, OWO, what’s this?” Which apparently gryopers are incredibly terminally online and use a lot of meme speak like that

The tiktoker @cybelecanterel posted a great video on Christian nationalism vs gryopers that I highly recommend because she breaks it down in a much better way than I could. Nick Fuentes is at the head of it all though he’s a podcaster/commentator much like Kirk was but even more extreme in his beliefs. He was the man who coined the phrase “your body my choice” after the election

It’s hard to make a full profile of the shooter since allegedly he’s not cooperating with FBI but we do know he was raised right wing and followed many right wing politicians and also Nick Fuentes and liked tweets from Nancy Mace who called out Charlie Kirk when he demanded the release of the Epstein files before later backtracking. Many people who knew him said he was very chronically online which would be on par with gryoper behavior

Not tryna be an argumentative asshole, I swear, but literally the only media I am seeing when I search this dude is “living with trans partner” type stuff, not anything about living at home. And I’ve seen more left people (I don’t mean this derogatory, I just don’t know how to put this) on places like Reddit where that terminology is incredibly common, so when I first heard it, I was like “oh? Was it a left leaning person?”

However! I do agree that the only thing we can do right now is speculate because we’re not the police, nor do we know him! I’m just seeing currently that friends and family were mentioning that he was starting to lean left despite being raised in their family

I don’t think you’re being argumentative I think it’s just discussion! It really is all speculation and we honestly might just be on two different sides of the internet and getting information differently. Again I highly recommend @cybelecanterel

’s video because she can break it down way better than I can and describes how that kind of meme speak is used as a sort of “code” in those spaces and how different groups of people interpret them differently it’s interesting but also scary because I had no idea that these people existed till like yesterday

Ugh you’re great. I feel terrible asking genuine questions, especially when it comes to politics cause people will assume and then attack you. Like I’m just genuinely curious here😭. Thanks for the links I can go to to check it out!

The internet is genuinely a scary place and the way people can dive so deep online to form weird crowds like this is insane!

No I don’t blame you I think it’s human nature to be curious and ask questions I honestly don’t trust people who don’t ask questions lol but a good faith discussion can definitely go a long way! That’s what I liked about that video though was she talked about how the memes lure especially younger people into crowds like that because they’re such an easy form of communication it’s really all around us and we would never know.
