Ah I see, so you're looking for a missing link for your theory while in the catacombs that house a few skeletons. Internet anthropology, fascinating. The reality you'll find is more so lackluster than you'd like to picture however. While the idea of conspiracy, cabals, and secret movement behind a curtain seems alluring, it's frankly more mundane and absurd than the fantasy.
What I can tell you is simply what I know from my own involvement and what I've learned over the years. Let's roll back the clock to 2019, a better time when the Covid crises was still a looming shadow.
Imagine 4chan as a watering hole for various types of people, who utilize it as a common space thing for ideas, movements, memetics etc. What you say/do on 4chan is seen by everyone and privy to no one. The concept of the jak was born from "Frog Apathy" Of which, I don't think we need a history lesson on the types of people who Frog Post, what groups they are affiliated with, their politics.
So the concept of the jak was co-opted as a rebellion in that, however because 4chan is a watering hole, that co-opt got co-opted and became its own thing. Which at the time, was a judgement error on my end due to ignorance of the nature of certain people.
My theory, is that said people who co-opted had their own groups, and proliferated the concept there, to the point where it transformed and made the migration over to /qa/. This group, may have been involved with Kuz, who was a /qa/ shitposter/attention whore around this time; I genuinely do not know. The reality is ultimately "You're right in your intuition, Jaks went from being an /int/ thing, which was collected and seeded; then found fermentation on various Discords. Then 2020 happened, and well, yeah.; someone let the lid off the pot and it found its way back to 4chan. Where was the brewery? No idea. Who was involved? No idea. Why /qa/? Wouldn't be too surprised if it was Kuz or /qa/fe members.
