just wondering how many gen z players in torn are actually operating with full brain rot. not just young, but deep in the culture. the kind who casually drop phrases that sound like error messages to anyone over 30. the ones who type like they’ve never touched a shift key in their life and talk in tiktok syntax even during wars.
to qualify as brain rotted for the purpose of this discussion, one must demonstrate familiarity with phrases such as “icl,” “sybau 🥀,” “ts pmo,” and similar shorthand expressions that originated in hyper-online spaces like tiktok, instagram, or whatever.
the central question is how many players in torn fit this profile. is there a significant number of gen z users with this communication style, or is the game still dominated by older players with more traditional forum culture?
any observations or self-reports are welcome. analysis of how this subculture affects gameplay, social dynamics, or faction behavior is also encouraged.

Fun Fact: In 1979, a prisoner in California escaped from jail to go home for Christmas, then turned himself in a few days later. He said he just wanted a holiday meal with his mom. The court still gave him extra time for escaping, but at least he got his Christmas dinner.
