• A video of a mom discussing the personality of Gen Alpha girls sparked discussion.

People are sharing stories about the times their Gen Alpha daughters have had "no filter" after a mom pointed out how fierce young girls have become.

In a video posted on August 26, a TikToker who goes by the username @ThatPsychNP said that she has noticed a trend in children born between the early 2010s and mid-2020s, who are known as Gen Alpha.

She said that while boys have an "explosion of empathy, understanding, and emotional intelligence," girls are a "force to be reckoned with."

To explain her point, she attached footage from another TikTok video showing a young girl wearing floaties while using a sniping Nerf gun, which she was balancing on a four-wheeled vehicle.

"It didn't matter if she had her floaties on. She was straight-up engaging in tactical sniping," said the TikToker. "And I bet you $10 that the nerf was pointed at somebody."

She also included a screenshot of a news article about a two-year-old girl who reportedly bit a snake and killed it after it attacked her.

She told viewers that Gen Alpha girls have "fire running through their veins," and that they will "chew you up, spit you out, and then have another go at you." She said she loves that these girls are "coming into their power," and that people should choose their behaviors very carefully around them because they are "equipped with murder mittens and no filter."

Most viewers seemed to agree that @ThatPsychNP's assessment of Gen Alpha girls is accurate. Many viewers said that they were proud of their Gen Alpha daughters. Several people also agreed that Gen Alpha boys may be especially empathetic.

Other TikTokers have stitched the video and are sharing stories about their own Gen Alpha daughters.

In one response video that was also posted on August 26, TikTok user @elizamakes told viewers that her 4-year-old daughter's first word was "murder."

She said, "At the time, we laughed it off. We were like, 'Oh, she couldn't have meant to say that." Then she paused and said, "We have since reevaluated that assumption.'"

She said that even though her daughter is "extremely cute," and her friends and teachers enjoy playing with her, she "absolutely meant it." But then she added, "Honestly, I don't think she would do it to anybody that didn't deserve it."

In another video posted on August 28, TikTok user Kathryn Jaques said that she and her 3-year-old were sitting in a crowded public lobby when a pregnant woman sat down in the empty chair next to her child.

"My child immediately glares at this woman and goes, 'Hey, what are you doing here? Give me space,' and then moved her chair away from the pregnant woman," she told viewers. "And that was a normal Thursday for the 3-year-old."

She said that when she told her child that her actions were rude and mean, she just looked at her and said, "OK."

@ThatPsychNP has discussed Gen Alpha kids in the past, referring to them as "honey badgers" because of how brave and authority-defying the generation seems to be.

The oldest members of Gen Alpha are just turning 13, and discussions about how they will turn out are becoming increasingly common. So far, Gen Alpha has a strong reputation for their hoverboarding skills and their grasp on technology. Their bizarre sense of humor and strange memes are already making Gen Zers feel old and out of touch.
