Amelia: The AI-Goth Girl Meme Taking the Far-Right Online
An AI-generated British schoolgirl called Amelia has become a global far-right meme, spreading from a UK Home Office anti-extremism game into viral posts on X via Grok AI and spawning numerous iterations (from manga to Wallace and Gromit) with racist messaging; a meme cryptocurrency has emerged and even attracted an Elon Musk retweet. Experts warn the phenomenon shows how hate content can be monetized and amplified online, highlighting safety concerns while the Pathways game was originally designed for classroom use as part of counter-extremism education.
