rtca/etca 

A new chronically online fad on tiktok.

rtca/etca precisely means to race/ethnicity change to another race ethnicity. eg: white/american to Asian/japanese.

As per usual the typical demographic of rtca/etca’s are 14yr old obese americans who have a undying obsession with japanese ‘kawaii’ culture. Rather then spending that undying effort touching grass, they grasp onto having “trauma” so therefore subject regular civilians with heinous ideas, like this.

Unlike a previous term known as “transracial,” these rcta/etca’s claim to be less problematic. Whatever that means.
person 1: hey did you hear about Emily today?
person 2: yeah, apparently she identifies as rtca/etca, hence the bakugo body pillow.
person 1: i’d hit.

rtca/etca 

A new chronically online fad from tiktok.

rtca/ecta precisely means to “change you race/ethnicity to another.” Eg: White/american to Asian/japanese.

The common demographic of these rtca/etca’s are typically obese 14 yr olds found in the usa that are incredibly obsessed with japanese “kawaii” culture instead of spending that effort touching some grass.

It’s basically the same as being transracial which also circulated around tiktok, except rcta/etca’s differ themselves from them, claiming to be “less problematic.”
“person” 1: hey i’m coming out as rtca/etca !
person 2: okay

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
