Damn that takes me back, reminds me of this video of a really old Fire Emblem Hack where you kill an "internet fad" as a boss:Before memes were called "memes," they were known as fads. Older websites like YTMND and Newgrounds might still have classic fad labels somewhere.
I still use "fag" and "retard" as a part of my daily vernacular, both online and in real life. Of course, I adjust my speech depending who I'm around with. But I wouldn't want to be friends with anyone that gets anal over me casually using "fag" and "retard".

For being fairly recent, KEK? It feels just wrong nowdays. Not even related to politics. It's just. Idk. It feels the same way that saying "boobies" was hilarious as a child but now it leaves you a sour taste in your mouth. Although, "boobies" is so terrible it flips back to being funny again. Can't say that about kek.
For those not in the know, "Kek" originated on World of Warcraft as the Orcish translation of "Lol." If a Horde player were to type "lol" to an Alliance player, they would read it as "Kek." I still hear it thrown around from time to time, and every time I do I feel shocked. I used to play WoW quite religiously, but the game isn't what it used to be.pwn and pwnt and I'm glad they never became as hated as most slang similar to that. GG for example.
kek is like using lingo from a specific MMO outside the game.
Hey, kinda off point, but I always wondered. Why is japanese internet so cut off from the rest of the world and also how is it like? Because what strikes me as weird is that pretty much all of the western world is connected internet wise. I see the same online culture from people that come from US as from Turkey. Obviously I can tell them apart and some things make sense only locally, but they don't feel inpenetrable. Japanese net feels like a completely different world that I'm only aware of because some people manage to bring parts of it to the light.大阪地方特有の俗語がたくさんありました。私は日本の人々と一緒にそれを使用し、彼らは私が何について話しているのか尋ねました。誰かをキジと呼ぶことを含むフレーズを覚えています。
Internet lingo has really shifted now that I think about it. Alot of the shorthand has sort of died out and we now have the hellish zoomer Tiktok creole that's become the meme of the day. You hear things like "No cap" (No lie/I'm not lying), "Zooting" (being high/drunk/crossfaded), and "ion" (I don't?). It's both strange and fascinating to see where it'll all go in the near future now that Gen Alpha is already starting to get involved in technology.
It's also terrifying.
A seriously old-school term that I sorely miss is "fads." Before memes were called "memes," they were known as fads. Older websites like YTMND and Newgrounds might still have classic fad labels somewhere.
日本はやや外国人嫌いで、外からの影響を嫌います。私はギャップを埋めてクールなアメリカのものを見つけようとしますが、日本のインターネットの多くは日本に固有のものであると言うとき、あなたは正しいですHey, kinda off point, but I always wondered.

Yeah I see the irony but what I meant was that kek is a time and place that we're really distant from now. It's more like a dream than something that really happened. Kek was also known for being the Korean LOL. But kek as we know it now has as much to do with that stuff as based has to do with based god.For those not in the know, "Kek" originated on World of Warcraft as the Orcish translation of "Lol."

Damn that brings back memories. Back in 2009/2010 before the hack was completed I played an incomplete demo patch of it. I still haven't played the complete version of The Last Promise, but Blazer is a legendary rom hacker and I learned alot form his tutorials. Actually perfectly on topic to both Fire Emblem rom hacks and dead internet slang, Gheb Fe is practically a museum of what internet humor was like in 2008:Oh man! A Sacred Stones hack. I seriously miss these. A little off topi I know, but I intend to get back into those at some point.
The big one that I've played a lot of is Blazer's monolithic masterpiece "The Last Promise." I recall also once hearing about one called "The Dark Lord" but I know nothing about it.

i remember i used to go on forums for sites that didn't allow words like fag so we'd say "newbag" instead and i'm sad that's never caught on anywhere lolI remember back in the day when I would play Toribash, people would toss around fag like it was casual language. People have become so soft lol
this reminds me that i thought based used to mean "what you said was retarded but i respect that you even said it". everyone i know now just says based = good and i swear it used to mean something else.people don't use EZPZ anymore and it hurts me greatly. I think the only slang that sticked lately is based and i quite liked it until it became a meme instead of a normal slang like it was supposed to.
