There’s Something Very Dark About a Lot of Those Viral AI Fruit Videos
With female AI fruit being fart-shamed and even sexually assaulted, there’s a misogynistic undercurrent to the fruit slop microdramas, even as they appear to be cultivating genuine fans.
Over the past five days, an Instagram account called FruitvilleGossip has racked up more than 300,000 views on a series of videos called Fruit Paternity Court.
Featuring a cast of AI fruit characters, the entirely AI-generated show pits a clementine mother of a baby tangerine against his prospective parent, Mr. Mike the mango. Then Dr. Lime delivers an envelope containing the results of a DNA test to the judge: Mr. Mike is not the father.
“Idk why I’m invested in the lives of these fruit people,” says one comment. But they aren’t alone. “Come on last episode please drop it tonight we need it,” begs another.
Across viral AI fruit videos, which have overtaken many social media feeds over the past week, one theme sticks out: women fruit characters facing humiliating scenarios and even violence.
Repeatedly, fruit women in the videos cheat on their fruit husbands and boyfriends, often getting exposed and losing everything. Fruit babies born out of wedlock are thus often the wrong variety of fruit. In response, the fruit women get slapped and berated, and sometimes the fruit baby even gets thrown out the window to its death. There are AI fruit videos that that heavily suggest acts of sexual violence . Fruit parents have sex with the friends of their fruit children. Fruit parents verbally abuse their fruit children. The fruit women and their fruit children also get chased by sharks, ground up in blenders, and boiled alive.
Bizarrely, a number of the videos punish female AI fruit characters just for farting , with fruit men repeatedly kicking them out of their homes and even jailing them for passing gas.
