>>75902838I would agree. The original two liner shitpost threads spawning an actual general would be cool to remember by keeping that trend, going forward.
It definitely wasn't organic though. It's not a coincidence that Filian breaks containment on stream and then suddenly a wave of memetic threads start popping up on the catalog. Filian herself engineered these generals because she wanted a larger presence that wasn't buried in the /lig/ threads. Doing this over the hiatus allows her to maintain visibility with no effort on her part, since /vt/ users make these generals self-sustaining. I would not be surprised if she farms these threads for react content later. Maybe a YLYL punishment where she has to read through an album of /flip/ posts.
