sp this tik toker who makes music was like "hey what if we made a fake movie from the 80s called Zepotha and put comments on videos like "you look like _____ from Zepotha" and whatever"
And because people are zombie mush brains they went along with it and started a trend of confusing people who didn't see the og tik tok by commenting "you look like X from Zepotha"
In reality the og tik tower who cake up with this definitely did it just to promote her music, her most recent album being 80s themed, hence the fake movie being from the 80s. She just wanted her music to get attention, her music is even the main sound for anything Zepotha related. She knew it would work because everyone online is a zombie who follows along with everything.
And because this is tik tok, this joke just... gets ruined.
There was a trend, The Waffle House has found its new host. It was supposed to suddenly end on a certain day, but a vast majority of people did not stop on the day they were supposed to, effectively ruining the entire joke.
With Zepotha, people started to create lore for the fake movie and when the people who aren't in on it find that "lore" is inconsistent, they figure out that it is fake, effectively ruining the entire joke. People start drawing the characters, but when the same character looks completely different in 2 different drawings, people figure it out. It wasn't even funny, because everyone knew what it was, and it's not even a joke it's just a marketing campaign so some random tik toker can get rich.
It gets even worse when the original tik toker made a competition for people to make a "real" Zepotha movie to win a little bit of money when she was probably making bank off the trend. She's just taking advantage of people for more promotion for her music.
Zepotha is a big fat joke and I feel bad for everyone who participated not even realizing this is all just someone trying to make money off random people.
Then this youtuber comes in and talks about Zepotha like some "lost media" and "omg what is this about a missing movie from the 80s" THAT IS LITERALLY NOT WHAT IT IS ITS JUST A DUMB ONLINE RANDO TRYING TO GET RICH QUICK
Th reality we live in.
Okay, there's no way the you tuber I'm talking about would do that if they knew that Zepotha was fake, they'd tell us, they always tell us if it's an ARG or if there's suspicion of it being fake, and I mean ALWAYS. Maybe they did say it was fake, I did close the video immediately after hearing the word Zepotha, so maybe they did say something, and I didn't see. I should check. (And even if they didn't they probably didn't know then)
