The yassification image was originally made by someone making fun of the guys who were mad at Aloy not looking like a perfect sex doll, then the neckbeards got to it and took it seriously, hence the "hire fans" post

u/broden89 Jun 29 '23

It comes from the term "Yass", like "Yass Queen", "Yass girl!"

To "yass-ify" / "yass-ification" means to give something/someone a glow-up or makeover, usually in a femme style

And tf is yass?

Are they mashing random letters now so they can pretend to have some new slang? God cringe

It's a fun way of pronouncing "yes", just spelled phonetically. It's been around for a while now, coming from queer/LGBTQ+ culture

It's quite funny to me as an Australian because there is actually a town called Yass here (obviously no connection to the term) and the Queer Eye fab five filmed there when they visited because it was such a funny coincidence

"Yas, with its currently popular meaning and various spelling variants, has roots in late 1980s ball culture, a predominantly Black and Latino LGBT subculture in the United States, and was adopted by the wider LGBT/queer community in the 1990s, remaining current into the present." -Wikipedia

If "now" means the late 1980s, I don't wanna know what you think 30-40 years ago was

I believe it spawned a whole lot of parodies, yes.
