What are 'curi' or 'curimomos'? Between the evolution of the meme or a new form of cyberbullying

The phenomenon of 'curi' or 'curimomos' has emerged as a new form of online bullying among students, characterized by anonymous accounts mocking peers and teachers. Initially intended as humorous drawings, these illustrations have evolved into tools for cyberbullying, often spreading racist, homophobic, and fatphobic messages. Schools across Spain are witnessing the rise of these accounts, which thrive on anonymity and can lead to significant distress for victims. Experts warn that the digital footprint left by such content can have lasting effects on individuals. While some educators view this trend as a new iteration of past behaviors, others emphasize the need for education on responsible digital use and the importance of addressing harmful content when it crosses legal boundaries.
