>>15918760Rovert was never mentioned on /asp/ and very infrequently the first few years of /pw/, really just by boomers that remember him from old forums. Every once in a while someone would bring him up for a laugh and the schizo poster got wind of it and must have spent a whole 5 minutes googling him. You probably could have seen the lightbulb go off over his head. He tested the waters for a few weeks and then he had a whole new archnemesis fleshed out, constant hogwheels and Trevor spamming all year long.
I would assume the schizo poster likes that there is some lore behind it and continuity. It’s almost like when a terror attack would happen they would just credit it to Bin Laden no matter who did it.
He finally could have a boogieman to pretend to argue with that is (reasonably) well known from pre social media days even. Makes his imaginary console warring even more epic. The real Rovert seemingly has no clue 4chan even exists. He has 100’s of thousands of Tweets alone and just as many posts to various forums and I would venture a guess he’s never once typed the words 4Chan or /pw/.
