51/-51/51 “kebabs” or any similar variation is a dog whistle used by the alt right, primarily on TikTok. 51 is referring to the number of innocent Muslims who were murdered in the Christchurch Mosque Massacre in New Zealand used to offend believers of Islam. While it’s length of usage is unknown, possibly since the incident first occurred, it has gained more notoriety in 2024 after AI generated videos of the perpetrator, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, dancing to music (most commonly Eva by Vintage) with the image of the Mosque in the background and “-51” started appearing (often with DotA kill sounds added to the song). There are variations of this trend as well that has included other mass killers such as Payton Gendron (2022 tops market shooting), but there is also anti Christian variations of it (as it’s not an exclusively anti Muslim trend and any group and use it in a hateful form)a commonly seen one is 269/-269 which refer to the Sri Lanka Easter church incident in 2019. Overall this trend is just weird racist faggotry from any side doing it.
