>>30881381I remember first seeing it in large numbers for Towa, so at least in my mind that's kind of the origin point. IIRC /hlg/ hated it because they hate fun generally.
Goslings happened to be a perfect analogy to describe an unexpected solemn infatuation with a chuuba, something a lot of EN newfags never experienced before and it just-so-happened Ame pushed exactly the right buttons first on that without even trying and held the title.
It kind of makes sense she doesn't really acknowledge them too directly as they're not really "hers" as it's more a term that can apply to anyone, but, she could have capitalized on them and made it more her thing if she wanted. The gator thing is just lame and reddit-y, kinda like Ame so I guess true to form.
