Ooh interesting, what do you mean by the 4chan speak? Is it the maxxing thing?

    These terms were originally heavily used as heavy right wing 4chan terms, largely circulating in hate circle jerks (which is like 50% of 4chan anyways). Largely associated with millenial incel culture.

    Gen Z proceeded to take these terms and parody the fuck out if them, effectively mocking incel culture and turning it into a huge joke. Thus then became mainstream and its largely acted as a very successful humiliation tactic towards the hateful groups.

    Think stuff like all the "chad" memes but applying it to silly stuff, like intense cuts of a random chair or a porta-potty, x-pilled terms, etc.

    All their terms have been mocked into oblivion, you cant really use the terms without just sounding like a gen z meme now.

    An example of when millennials did a similiar thing was mocking the shit out of gen x biker/trucker hyper masculine culture and turning it into an ironic joke. IE the skeleton "my body is a machine that turns x into y" jokes, or ironic memes of edgy skeletons/wolves/etc. Three moons shirt, those things.

    10/10, I fucking love how culture can do stuff like this over time lol

    “Maxxing,” “mogging,” “-pilled.” Amongst many others. I’ve even seen this language on billboards and the seepage of sewage into the mainstream is mind-boggling.

    Then again those stupid psyop fucks infiltrated Xitter, tumblr, etc. over a decade ago.

    Is that where spelling goes to die? People were 'maxing' their caffeine decades before whatever vapid influencerati re-coined the badly-written version. I still am not sure it was spelled wrong knowingly.
