About

There Are Consequences To Saying The N-word is a viral lip-dub of Kratos from God of War telling the boy character Atreus that "there are consequences to saying the n-word," to which Atreus replies, "Why? How do you know? How do you know?" After the video was uploaded to TikTok in late 2022, it received viral usage as a sound in other memes and skits.

Origin

In Part 20 of the video game God of War 4, the characters Kratos and Atreus are in a cave when Atreus kills a man without Kratos' permission. After going back and forth about the ethics of non-survival killing, Kratos shakes Atreus and says, "There are consequences to killing a God," to which Atreus says, "Why? How do you know? How do you know?" (YouTube upload shown below).



On December 6th, 2022, TikToker[1] _breaking_bad_1 posted a video that lip-dubbed over the Kratos and Atreus scene, instead making Kratos say, "There are consequences to saying the n-word." Over the course of one week, the video received roughly 10.6 million plays and 1.7 million likes (shown below).
