# Rizz Em With The Tism Girl "Rizz 'Em With the 'Tism Girl" is a viral meme from June 2025 based on a blonde woman named Rachael Lerman who appeared on YouTuber David Alvareeezy's blind dating video featuring rapper bbno$. After clips of her dorky pickup lines and confident energy circulated for months, an X user reposted an edit captioned "Rizz em with the tism!" and it exploded to over 103 million views in four days, sparking heated debate over whether Rachel was genuinely awkward, strategically charming, or unfairly labeled autistic. ## Origin On March 16, 2025, YouTuber David Alvareeezy uploaded a video titled "Blind Dating A Famous Rapper," featuring seven women blind dating rapper bbno$ (also known as bbnomoney)[2]. The full video picked up over 2 million views in its first three months. Rachel enters at the 4:21 mark. Alvareeezy also cut standalone clips of her segments. A YouTube Short of her opening pickup lines, posted on March 20, 2025, pulled in over 10.5 million views within three months[2]. The same clip earned over 1.5 million plays on TikTok and 3.8 million views on Instagram[2]. Rachael Lerman posts on Instagram under the handle @rach_lerman[2]. So the character of "Rachel" was already well-known in dating content circles before the meme label ever attached itself. - **Platform:** YouTube (source video by David Alvareeezy), Twitter / X (viral meme spread) - **Creator:** David Alvareeezy (YouTuber, original video), Rachael Lerman (subject, "Rachel"), @itsme_urstruly (viral X edit) - **Date:** 2025 ## Overview The meme centers on Rachael Lerman, credited as "Rachel" in a YouTube blind dating video where seven women competed for rapper bbno$'s attention. Rachel, a blonde woman in a grey hoodie, opened by fixing bbno$'s hair and delivering a string of endearingly corny pickup lines[2]. Her style hit a specific frequency: too confident to be awkward, too goofy to be smooth. She told bbno$ she broke a state record for blocked shots in high school, adding, "So, good luck to everyone trying to shoot their shot." She followed up with, "Are you a Twitch streamer? 'Cause I'd be your sub"[2]. When the clip went mega-viral months later under the caption "Rizz em with the tism," it kicked off one of mid-2025's biggest internet debates. Was she cringe? Was she a genius? Was calling her autistic a compliment, an insult, or just wrong? Everyone had an opinion. ## How It Spread The explosion happened on June 26, 2025, when X user @itsme_urstruly posted a fan edit compiling Rachel's best moments from the Alvareeezy video with the caption, "Rizz em with the tism! 👌"[2]. The phrase combined "rizz" (slang for charisma or flirting ability) with "'tism" (internet shorthand for autism). In four days, the post hit over 103 million views and 200,000 likes[2]. The quote-tweet avalanche started June 27. X user @hollowearthterf wrote, "This woman is clinically insane and if you cannot see that you're NGMI," picking up over 19,000 likes in three days[2]. That same day, @sailaunderscore posted what became one of the most-liked takes: "There is absolutely nothing autistic about this girl, she's a level 999 shadow vizier using her max-level manipulate abilities on a level 1 ranger who's stepped into her killrange," which earned over 107,000 likes in three days[2]. Also on June 27, @moietroses called Rachel the "Pick me final boss," and that quote-tweet alone racked up over 491,000 likes in three days, making it one of the single biggest responses[2]. By June 28, the meme had entered the meta-commentary phase. X user @snnneee posted a split image of billionaire Peter Thiel from a then-trending New York Times interview[1] alongside Rachel, captioned "A quick summary of the last 24 hours," collecting over 8,200 likes[2]. The pairing captured how the entire internet seemed to be talking about only two things that weekend. Rachael Lerman herself leaned into it. On June 28, she reposted the original "Rizz em with the tism" edit to her Instagram account @rach_lerman, where it pulled in over 464,000 likes in just two days[2]. ## How to Use The meme works on several levels: **As a caption format:** Post a clip or image of someone using awkward-but-effective charm and caption it "Rizz 'em with the 'tism" or a variation. The humor comes from framing socially unconventional behavior as a secret weapon rather than a liability. **As discourse fuel:** Quote-tweet or duet a clip of Rachel (or someone like her) with your take on whether the behavior is genuine awkwardness, calculated manipulation, or "pick me" energy. The meme is as much about the debate as the original video. **As a reaction template:** Use clips of Rachel fixing bbno$'s hair, delivering her pickup lines, or singing to react to situations where someone is being confidently cringe in a way that somehow works. The tone typically lands somewhere between admiration and bewilderment. Most uses carry a "I can't tell if this is genius or unhinged" energy. ## Cultural Impact The Rizz 'Em With the 'Tism Girl discourse touched several ongoing internet conversations at once. The "'tism" framing plugged into a broader 2024-2025 trend of autism being used as internet shorthand for any intense, focused, or socially unusual behavior, whether or not actual neurodivergence is involved[2]. Critics pushed back on the label, arguing that calling a confident woman autistic just because she's quirky trivializes the condition. The "Pick Me" accusation also made this a flashpoint in ongoing gender discourse. The @moietroses tweet calling Rachel the "Pick me final boss" drew nearly half a million likes, showing how quickly the internet maps women's dating behavior onto existing frameworks of approval-seeking[2]. Rachel's decision to repost the viral edit rather than distance herself from it added another layer. By embracing the meme, she short-circuited the usual cycle where meme subjects either stay silent or push back[2]. The 103 million views on the original X post in under a week made this one of the fastest-spreading memes of mid-2025[2]. ## Fun Facts - Rachel's YouTube Short of just her opening pickup lines got 10.5 million views before the meme even existed, making her arguably famous twice from the same footage[2]. - The @sailaunderscore "level 999 shadow vizier" tweet used RPG terminology to describe Rachel's flirting, and it became almost as quotable as the original meme itself[2]. - The meme trended alongside a New York Times interview with Peter Thiel about technological stagnation and the Antichrist, leading to surreal "summary of the internet right now" posts pairing the two[1][2]. - Rachael Lerman's Instagram repost of the meme got 464,000 likes in two days, outperforming many of the original clip posts from March[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the Rizz 'Em With the 'Tism Girl meme?
