"Jordan Brann, who attended Pine View High School in St. George, Utah, posted a video on TikTok calling Robinson a 'Reddit kid,' a slang term used to describe young people heavily influenced by Reddit culture. The phrase often carries a mocking tone, implying someone is deeply immersed in online communities, memes, or internet-driven beliefs. 'I went to school with Tyler Robinson,' Brann said in the now-deleted TikTok."
"Authorities said Robinson inscribed messages on bullets referring to internet culture and anti-fascist sentiments before firing the shot that killed Kirk. According to Utah Governor Spencer Cox, one of the bullets was engraved with 'Notices bulge OwO, what's this?', a meme used to troll 'furries' and transgender people. Furries are a community that adopts anthropomorphized animal personas, sometimes in a sexual context."
A former Pine View High School classmate labeled Tyler Robinson a 'Reddit kid' and said he was not friends with him but saw him regularly over three years. The classmate warned that spending too much time online can push beliefs to extremes and motivate dramatic actions to impress online peers. He posted a TikTok that was later deleted and clarified that his point was about the effects of excessive internet use; the video gained over two million views in three days. Robinson, 22, was arrested on suspicion of killing Charlie Kirk; authorities reported engraved bullets referencing internet culture and mockery of furries and transgender people.
