If something that had already existed for 6 years when 4chan first opened can be said to originate from 4chan, then what can’t? Hell, large portions of internet culture as you know it for good or for ill were actually born out of the chaos of /b/, but your metric for “originating from 4chan” seems to be “do I think of it as negative and/or nihilistic, if yes then it must have originated from 4chan” rather than anything about where something actually started from.
Do you have a personal attachment to this issue or something?
First of all, you could have just told me about Alana. Whatever, now I know about her, that’s cool.
Secondly, let’s look at the terminology associated with incels for a second: chad, stacy, roastie, blue/red/black pill, foid, sexual market value, The Wall, mogging, lookism, looksmaxxing, bone smash theory, high T, soyboy, soyciety, beta-bux, beta orbiter, MGTOW, AWALT, branch-swinger, cock carousel, hypergamy, just-be-white, lay down and rot, ropefuel, hERo
Now, I recognize that if we’re going back to 1997, these will seem a bit anacronistic, but do you mean to tell me that Alana’s website, a romantic struggle support group that she built “welcoming all genders,” really has cultural ties to any of those terms above? That her website was the incubator for extremely pedophilic ideas such as “roastie” and “The Wall” are? I find that very hard to believe. But please, inform me.
