>>714517215You mean the whole redpilled thing? Obviously that's from the matrix, but "Based and redpilled" was something /pol/ cooked up around 2015 or so leading up to the Trump vs Hillary election.
And you're absolutely right that these phrases faced a ton of pushback, as did pepe/wojak spam, and the spamming of "boomer/zoomer", soijaks, people were really annoyed by all of that as it was happening, but now it's just kind of become the norm, so much so that the normIES have fully embraced those things.
