Random Rant: The Acronym KYS. Overused?
9 years ago
I have no idea what I’m doing.
Hey guys! It's me, Double Dee!

And these guys are awesome and you should know them, if not then get to know them!

So we've all seen this one thing that's been seen way too many times for it to mean anything anymore. We had "Swag" and "YOLO" and those got annoying. But now we as internet users have been seeing this acronym a lot.
KYS. For the uninitiated (including me, and it took me a while to realize it), it stands for "Kill Yourself."
What? Since when is it acceptable to tell one another to kill themselves. Did Youtubers like Leafy draw this attention that people say it because it's the cool thing to do now? One Youtuber I recently got into called Jaiden Animations explained this problem way better than I ever could and I will credit her when I quote this.
"It's the common thing to say on the internet now for all those kids out there trying to be edgy and I'm sick of seeing it all the time. Everyone's so quick to just hate each other now! Just calm down! Drink a cup of water or something! It's not edgy to be edgy anymore. It's forced and overused. Just because this person is being scummy, doesn't mean you can automatically be scummy back to them. That's not at all how it works."
Yeah, who the hell thought it would be cool to tell people "KYS" just for disagreeing, when they haven't even done anything inhumane? It's annoying to see convos like this:
Person 1: Hey, I like Undertale, and I have fun with it every time I play through it. It was a wonderful experience.
Person 2: KYS
Person 1: Can we all just get along and not fight all the time? I think PCs and Consoles can coexist peacefully!
Person 2: KYS
...Okay, maybe I just made up the conversations, but there's no denying that the acronym is being wrongly used to indicate disagreement, and as a result, it results in people being rude to each other. Just leave the computer and drink a cup of water.
Also, I'll be honest. If you see anyone harassing me or hating me for any reason and you tell that person, KYS, then you'd be just as bad as the hater and therefore, not a fan of my characters, or the art I commission, or my videos. If you counter haters of me with KYS, then, I'm sorry, but you disgust me.
