I don't think "thicc" is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. "OH LAWD" though, yeah, is cringe.

Like 60% of internet speak, "thicc" did indeed originate with AAVE.

No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don't think using "thicc" is any more than using "cool" is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).
"OH LAWD" in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

African-American Vocabulary English. Some people think it's racist for white people to use them because cultural appropriation, which is a term that never should've left the academic circles it originated from, as people are using it way too broadly, and as something evil and bad.
