r/ChapoTrapHouse was at the bleeding edge of Reddit culture (in both positive and negative aspects). A lot of discussions, arguments, terminology, snowclones, and memes originated there and flowed downstream to the defaults and r/all.
For instance, someone did a data visualization on the use and spread of "OK Boomer" and r/CTH was the vanguard. The same could very well be true of the "tankie" discourse, considering the fact that it only gets worse as it rolls downhill like a giant Katamari ball of dog shit.
oh was that word commonly used back then? i thought that totally resurfaced last year except for in fringe trot circles
