4chan’s wordfilters also gave us the Rickroll. The word “egg” got filtered to “duck”, which lead to the word “eggroll” being changed to “duckroll”. Folks would duckroll each other by fake linking to hentai only for it to be this pic of a duck on wheels. That’s why the Rick Astley vid is rickrolling

The question is: Now that I have a text article to link to, will KnowYourMeme and Wikipedia update their Duckroll/Rickroll pages? Or will the Wikipedia dramatization block me from ever being cited again? lol
Here's a collection of links, sources, and credits (and an attempt at formatting the video into a text article). The "special thanks" section is sizeable, but I might easily be forgetting a few people. Let me know if I missed you.

Discovering who used "Metroidvania" first is the easy part. Hard mode is figuring out how and why its meaning changed.

🤓 akshually the “rickroll” is an evolution of the “duckroll”, which was used as a bait and switch on image boards when users were seeking “CP” (child pornography), and therefore it would irresponsible NOT to discuss rickrolling and sex trafficking simultaneously ☝🏻🤓

The Duckroll bit was not something I expected to also learn about today. Thank you for this, Kate.

Also while I'm here: 4chan is also why it's called "creepypasta" (from "copypasta," the way the Japanese folks on 2chan loan-worded "copy paste") and where "Rickroll" comes from (from "duckroll" which was the same gag but it led you to an image of a duck on wheels)

My favorite PBF factoid: It invented the word weeaboo.

4chan started using the term (and the third image as a reaction image) in response to anyone talking about anime outside of the /a/ board (where the anime belonged), which then led it to be used as a simile for, basically, non-Japanese otaku.

The early 2000s saw the invention of the duckroll followed by the Rickroll three or four years later. The number 420 becoming a meme. The late 2000s gave us absurdly edit-heavy CoD frag montages.

The 2000s were textbook brainrot. The only difference was that it was YOUR brainrot.

I saw Duckroll get invented. For those who dont know, Duckroll is the predecessor to Rickroll, and where the "roll" part comes from

"rickroll" comes from 'duckroll", which is a duck ("duck") with tires ("roll")
