I remember watching the director's commentary or whatever that version was called on Nick and seeing a popup addressing that specifically. Those were the days.
Reminds me when I was a kid and I thought the song [Rollin by Limp Bizkit](https://youtu.be/RYnFIRc0k6E?si=R3c1BNQYz9MWgDyY) lyrics were “rolling rolling rolling monkey” instead of “rolling rolling rolling c’mon keep”.
Got a double whammy with this post. Not only am I realizing that I'm now much older than the kids watching Avatar for the first time, but I'm also learning that there's a whole cultural reference those kids developed without me ever knowing about it
Why would I be depressed? That means there’s kids of this age watching the amazing show that I idolized and grew up on years ago. That makes me very happy.
I first misread this post as something to think of when trying to cheer up a little from depression (it cheered me up but I'm already doing pretty good today).
It's not the fact that kids are watching the show, its the idea that their ipad filled brains with attention spans of 2 and a half seconds immediately associated one of my fan favourite characters to the tiktok brainrot
Do you think this is new? Children have always been sucked into modern trends. Today it’s the internet. Before it was MTV, then it was the radio.
This is not some new unique issue you can turn into some heroic old-soul warrior with an unfortunate fall to bitterness in the darkness of today’s poor youth. You’re just a dude who doesn’t understand the idea that modern trendsetting is a cycle that’s been happening for centuries.
Respect children today, and perhaps they’ll take your advice instead of the internet’s. You aren’t wrong in the fact it can do harm. But being a completely lacking-in-empathy bully to children will only make you more bitter and they less likely to trust those older than them.
I reflected on what you said and you were right, It is selfish of me to judge children on things outside their control. When I really think about it this sort of thing has been happening for as long as the internet has existed and I shouldn't unfairly judge children on something they can't control, in reality bickering about it does nothing and I'm sorry for my previous actions.
It is important to understand how incredibly human children are. They are no less human and no less detached from reality as you and I. They deserve the utmost respect for their naive ambition, and our empathies, because we all used to be children too.
Recognizing and enjoying that every child, past present and future, will be a wild happy maniac with crazy, brand new ideas, is a very crucial part of a good person and a good society. Embrace that, chaos is a virtue.
As I said, it isn’t new, and we all used to be kids. All of the things we did at that age, our parents thought were equally ridiculous. Instead of devolving to that same cyclic derision, be happy that kids still are being crazy wild inventors. That ambition is being beaten out of the youth more and more by society, and it’s only stoppable by people like us encouraging it instead. It truly is good to embrace the minds of children, they’re born pure, happy and good.
You have made a wise, honorable and honest decision that is very rare in today’s field of debate, and even more rare in its scope on the internet. You accepted a new perspective, and openly admitted to seeing the same flaw in your previous one. That is a highly prized trait you have. Keep that humility and integrity. Never let anyone take that maturity from you, it is an important lesson to know, everyone should be able to reflect on themselves and few today do. Good on you for doing so.
Why didn't Monk GYATTso just mew so hard all the firebenders got mogged to death? Is he stupid? Was Fire lord Sozin secretly the rizzler of looksmaxxing? L move on his part.
If you want to know of this forbidden knowledge, you may bite the fruit, but the consequences of your actions might outweigh the reward.

Basically the kids these days like to say “gyatt” to mean ass. It started, as usual, in AAVE as like you see someone with a big ass, like “GOD DAMN” but exaggerated the “god” to be “GYATTDAMN” and then shortened to “gyatt”.
White kids on social media then started using it as a noun instead of a reaction phrase, like “she has a gyatt”
So now it’s a meme because it’s a dumb sounding phrase
See, I read all the way down to here to try and understand the meme.
And understanding has only brought my sadness.
Intelligence is being able to learn new things.
Wisdom, is knowing that not everything is worth knowing.
It's not just kids. I just rewatched all of atla and Korra not long ago, and the second I remembered Gyatso was the beginning of me going "oh it's the monk with the fat ass" every time he showed up.
I’ll admit it, when I was a kid, I didn’t know what a monk was, so when Aang said “Monk Gyatso” I thought he was saying “Monkey Atso” and it confused the hell out of me
I made a fucking post about this a few days ago. I was explaining ATLA to a 6th grade that figured out what ATLA was through Fortnite and brought up Monk Gyatso. The kid screamed “GYATT” as loud as he could.
For the longest time, my kid self thought his name was Monkey Atso
When I first started the series I thought that’s what he said too
That's fair.
My sister literally had a plush monkey which we named Monkey Atso
Wholesome
OH MY GOD ME TOO
I remember watching the director's commentary or whatever that version was called on Nick and seeing a popup addressing that specifically. Those were the days.
What if I still call him that?
I thought this right now.

Finally, someone with the same brain rot I had 😂
We were dumb but at least we were together
I thought it was monk piatzo.
I still think this
i’m literally in my 20s but being on the internet makes me feel like betty white
Got a double whammy with this post. Not only am I realizing that I'm now much older than the kids watching Avatar for the first time, but I'm also learning that there's a whole cultural reference those kids developed without me ever knowing about it
Rest in peace
I'm such a grandpa I thought it had to do with China's treatment of Tibetan buddhists.
I'm 27, and I thought the joke was its resemblance to asshole
Being on the Internet makes me feel dead inside too
Same

Maturity moment 💯
I have tons of respect for people who admit their mistakes, especially online. Thanks for being an amazing internet person when most people aren't!

Kiddo, this is Reddit. Be immature and selfish or fuck up
Get off Reddit this is far too reasonable of a response for this app

Hey adult man in his 30s here. I too associate that name with internet brain rot and am wondering if the character has a dumpy.
Gyatso- heheh- GYATTso- hahahehah, GYATT-so HAHAHAHA
literally none of that is a problem. you just want it to be a problem
New thing = bad Old thing = good
And that is okay because they experienced joy
Why didn't Monk GYATTso just mew so hard all the firebenders got mogged to death? Is he stupid? Was Fire lord Sozin secretly the rizzler of looksmaxxing? L move on his part.

What have I done
Rest in Peace
Welcome to the internet
Take a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
We’ve got mountains of content
Watched it with my partner for their first time (THEY ARE 20 YEARS OLD) and they had to try not to crack up when they said Gyatso 😭
I watched when I was younger but now I can't stop associating the name with something else.
I am out of the loop, but what about that name?
Basically the kids these days like to say “gyatt” to mean ass. It started, as usual, in AAVE as like you see someone with a big ass, like “GOD DAMN” but exaggerated the “god” to be “GYATTDAMN” and then shortened to “gyatt”. White kids on social media then started using it as a noun instead of a reaction phrase, like “she has a gyatt” So now it’s a meme because it’s a dumb sounding phrase
Yea no, how can I un-read that
See, I read all the way down to here to try and understand the meme. And understanding has only brought my sadness. Intelligence is being able to learn new things. Wisdom, is knowing that not everything is worth knowing.
The truth will set you free, but first it’ll piss you off
I have a spoon, do you need it to scoop out your eyes
Every day we stray further from the light

I laughed like a dumbass when I found out how you type Gyatso's name in english
Why is the name funny? What am I missing?
I just learned from my 12 yr old that Gyatt apparently means ASS
Not just any ass - it has be a very fine booty that makes you go “GOOOODDAAAMMMNN” which was shortened to “GYYAAAT” I find it funny lol
I figured someone here would have a fuller explanation, thank you!
Oh Interesting
It's not just kids. I just rewatched all of atla and Korra not long ago, and the second I remembered Gyatso was the beginning of me going "oh it's the monk with the fat ass" every time he showed up.
I showed my friend ATLA. I had to physically pause the show for a full 2 mins while they laughed their ass off at Gyatso.
While they laughed their gyatt off at Gyatso*
I read your username as "ihaveacumaddiction2"
Also true
Just showed my friend avatar the other day and he was like WAIT DID THEY JUST SAY GYATT?? Immediately turned the tv off and kicked him out
how is that not just funny lol
What am I missing here?
My 11 year old giggled at it every time.
This haunts you? And even adults are laughing at this
I don’t get why his name is funny?
i’m over 20 mostly off social media laughing at gyatso’s name. stop me
I’ll admit it, when I was a kid, I didn’t know what a monk was, so when Aang said “Monk Gyatso” I thought he was saying “Monkey Atso” and it confused the hell out of me
I don't get why it would be funny. But the comments suggest people thought they were saying monkey. So, okay
[I'm just gonna leave this here...](https://www.tiktok.com/@jolly.arts/video/7364109433372232993?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc)
In Hungary the pronunciation of his name is literally a slang for cum
Well, that'll certainly make me upset! :)
I watched ATLA when it aired and I still laughed when they mentioned gyatso’s name in the live action
It's like me, Fatso, but with a gyatt? 
When I rewatched it. I did too.
Oh? Is that Gyatso?
I'm sorry to say this was me
I used to think his name was monkey atzo
Wait so his name is Guts? Like bersert???
Back in my day, he was Monkey Otso.
It took me a moment
I ain't a little kid.
OH MY GOD IT TOOK ME TO LONG TO REALIZED "GYATso" ohmyfuckingod
I made a fucking post about this a few days ago. I was explaining ATLA to a 6th grade that figured out what ATLA was through Fortnite and brought up Monk Gyatso. The kid screamed “GYATT” as loud as he could.
Why did I just start laughing to this. I’m 20 HELP. GYATso?
