Do you think that the Zilla guy is disappearing in the USA?

[Anonymous]

Context:
I'm not from the USA. I'm from France, and where I stand, I always thought of US as a country featuring both of these guys, consistently. It felt balanced to me. Balanced between a strong religious activity and a strong sarcastic activity. But these days, I'm perplexed. I feel like the Zilla guy is progressively dying, what do you think, US or not US guys and gals?

Disappearing

Still alive

Do not know

[Dongie]

Im not familiar with zilla.

[Asker]

Do you think you fear him?

[Dongie]

Why would I? Is he a serial killer?

[Asker]

I don't think serial killers are big about sense of humor. Well, at least it's probably not a light-hearted one 😂

[Dongie]

Well Zilla is a monster from the 98 movie Godzilla, a rapper, maybe a wrestler and two or three other possibilities.

[Asker]

From your estimation, for how long are we going to beat about the bush instead of talking openly about it😏 I can last, can you?

[Dongie]

All day long brother. 😅

[NathanDavis]

it's not funny anymore...

[Asker]

Shoot, what happened?

[NathanDavis]

it used to be funny when the extremists were at a corner, on the streets... now they're at the chambers and the city halls... lol

so he's not amused anymore, he has become the depresso espresso

[Asker]

That's the answer I was afraid of, 🆗

[hannamontana]

The US used to feel like a mix of strong religion and sharp sarcasm. Now, it seems like the loud, bold “Zilla” type is less around. Things change, and maybe one side is quieter now.

[Asker]

I hope it's just quietness and not death !

[Zack-Bann]

Extremism gets more traction online
So it’s easy to be drowned in a sea of “fear god” people and never see all the “zilla”s


But I’m pretty sure they’re still there

[Asker]

I'm tempted to follow the principle of the less noisy, hoping there's some truth to it

[Dongie]

Just wait a while. There are two coming that you'll REALLY get a kick out of. 🫩

[purplepoppy]

First I've heard of him.

Best American ever. Make him president.

[Snakeyes7]

wtf are you talking about. It is a guy making it look like the other was saying "fear Godzilla."

[Asker]

Yup, this "wtf I am talking about" is precisely located in the implications of this meme, you can see those implications discussed in the comments

[Snakeyes7]

Why would this guy be disappeared?

[Asker]

I can't assist you anymore, I'm transfering your ticket to tech support 👌🏼

[beefcakebradybatson]

The broligarchs and "religious" nuts are running America.

[Asker]

Sorry to hear that

[beefcakebradybatson]

As my mother used to tell my sisters and me,"Don't be sorry, be careful."

[Asker]

Being 7000kms something away from US east coast, I don't think I'm directly in need to be careful lol. At least not physically, culturally though, I agree with you. For some reason, US social influence is strong enough so they export their culture as well as their internal conflicts to EU

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes, but lots of European countries have their own crackpots.

[Asker]

There are some, but they pose no real threat in the streets of my location

[qwerty2469]

Americans are waking up we are God and Europe has stolen from us

[Asker]

Could be worse, imagine you had to type with an azerty keyboard 🙄

[wynning]

Only zilla I know is God (zilla)!

[Asker]

[RageBabe]

It still seems balanced to me.

[Asker]

Good to hear!

[alice55]

I never Heard of it

[Asker]

I think you did see him, metaphorically, because you can see him existing through influences seen in South Park, The Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head etc. You know, this taste for sarcasm is heavily present in USA, at least it was, at some point in time :)

[Jennz6]

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️

[DrPepper12]

Zilla?

[Asker]

Zilla, yes.
