Wonderful.
It's from SomethingAwful, an even older and possibly an even more wretched hive of scum and villainy than 4chan.
This is just more netlore at this point, but:
m00t made 4chan after either convincing a bunch of users of SA's hentai forum to come join his new cooler and better site without censorship on loli...
... or he just actually got banned from SA for posting too much loli, and thus was 4chan.
I can't actually source that last claim definitively, but I swear I've seen a video with LowTax stating such.
Wikipedia:

Encyclopedia Dramatica:

Lowtax banning Hentai put the fascists into power in the US.
It's a clown world after all...
Makes a lot of sense lol. I appreciate your usage of ED as a source, I find that reading between the opinions yields some shockingly accurate web history. I remember being shocked at their articles for gay and trans people... and then you read the one on straight people and realize they believe in equal treatment.
I love going back to browse ED occasionally. Both because it's such a blast from the past with so many memes and references I've forgotten about, and also just how absolutely batshit insane it is
They even have two separate articles for Trump, each from the complete opposite perspective.
That's hilarious. They're really keeping the spirit of the wild west-era internet alive.
