If you edit it, it will save without modification (auto-stripping of certain things happens only on first save) - though in this case it's probably better just to remove 'stop that' altogether?

#6It almost feels like gpt created literature when you start to read it, seemingly linking unrelated issues and concepts. But later in I became convinced it’s real and very interesting. Very meme-like, in the original definition of meme that is. A “virus” of the mind.

How many exactly? Without numbers, calling it mass-anything is blowing this way out of proportion. So called fakeDisorderCringe has been a thing for a while, thanks to TikTok. But is there any sign that a) it is seriously widespread and b) doesn't "go away by itself", when the kids get bored of pretending?
This appears to be nothing more than a short lived cringy TikTok / YouTube trend that will be over sooner than later, no different from goth culture. God I am glad I will never have children that I need to keep from melting their brains with social media.
