Are you wondering what started the 'yassification<\/em>' trend on Twitter and TikTok? This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.<\/p>\n

Meaning<\/h2>\n

The expression 'yassification<\/em>' is a slang word originating from social media. 'Yassification<\/em>' describes the process of something changing from the straight sexual identity to a more 'LGBTQ' friendly look. If you 'yassify<\/em>' something, you're smoothing it out to look more beautiful and appealing to all sexes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both men and women can experience yassification<\/em>, and it's a popular viral trend on the social media platforms Twitter and TikTok. Users will post a picture of a movie star, followed by another picture of them after undergoing 'yassification<\/em>.'<\/p>\n

Typically, the 'yassification<\/em>' of a photo makes the person look gay, providing the visual impression that they are proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community or support them in some way. 'Yassification<\/em>' is an evolution of the LGBTQ term 'yass<\/em>,' which is a 'queer<\/em>' variant of 'yes<\/em>.'<\/p>\n

It's common to see users post 'yass queen'<\/em> in response to someone posting a yassification<\/em> image or video. 'Yassification<\/em>' can also refer to someone that feels the effects of taking 'Yass Pills,'<\/em> or venturing into the LGBTQ space.<\/p>\n

Example Usage<\/h2>\n

Origin<\/h2>\n

The expression 'yassification' originates from social media, notably the Twitter platform. The Twitter user @MINTCHIP (account now deleted) was the first to coin the term in a tweet. The tweet in question used \"yassification gas,\" referring to an imaginary gas that \"yassifys\" unsuspecting people.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user, @puppyoveralls, replied, \"I'm choking on the yassification gas.\" In August 2020, the Twitter user, @yukikaerotica, posted the phrase, \"the yassification of X.\" The tweet featured an image of the Japanese pop singer Yukika Teramoto, with stickers and filters over her.<\/p>\n

In early 2021, Twitter users started comparing celebrity's post-yassified versions of themselves, starting the current viral trend.<\/p>\n
