All of the examples given are specifically terms that have to do with more conservative adjacent ideologies. If the words were things like "bet" and "cap" I'd have a different opinion. I believe you have missed the subtext of this meme entirely.
It's not CyberEggs fault that op chose slang from 4chan and called it genα slang
But that's entirely the point the meme is trying to make. It's pointing out that gen alpha has an alarming amount of it. It's like saying "This is actually a dark comedy, there is a layer of irony over the humor" then you jump in and say "hey, it's not their fault the director decided to mix sadness in!" I'm not even attacking them lol.
