Have you ever heard of the TikTok minion cult?
Fans of the Universal Studios film series switched their profile photos to the same picture of a minion holding the sun to convey their faith and love for the movies.
The profile image acts as a sign of solidarity in the ‘Minion Cult,’ helping fans connect with others with similar claims.
Although the term cult may seem scary, it is entirely disingenuous.
Last TikTok cults have included the Lana Cult, which involved users adopting the same image of the American singer standing in front of a fire in charge to find like-minded fans.
Charges within the ‘Minion Cult’ share a full host of social media content linked to the Despicable Me films, including memes and short clips.
TikTokers can also hope to gain a huge amount of supporters overnight by participating in the movement.
Users have been posting relentlessly about the minion trend, joking about its potential to raise followings practically overnight.
The hashtag #minioncult has earned hundreds of millions of views on TikTok alone.
Despite the Deplorable Me franchise first taking to movies a decade ago, the longing for the weirdly loveable, yellow creatures we’ve come to know and love as minions don’t seem to be dying down amongst fans.
Assuming that TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social media outlets with over 1 billion users, the ‘Minion Cult’ is expected to grow at a rapid rate.
The departure of Minions: The Rise of Gru, which has already achieved an impressive 72% Rotten Tomatoes rating two days after beating the cinemas, will only boost the love for minions to increase in the next coming weeks.
