Yodie Land / Blinker City

About

Yodie Land and Blinker City refer to imagined settings coined by YouTube streamer Damianluck925, also known as Fulcrum and most known for his catchphrases, "Fulcrum Come In Yuhhh Yodie Gang" and "Faded Than A Ho," which earned him virality on TikTok and in the world of Twitch in late 2022. Yodie Land is where Fulcrum exists spiritually when he's high on weed in public places, inviting his viewers to join him there. Blinker City is another imagined setting that references Fulcrum's "blinkers" which is a slang term for hitting a dab pen until it blinks. As Fulcrum gained notoriety, so did his two settings which were then humorously imagined through photo slideshows on TikTok as futuristic utopias.
