Over 9000 began as a joke among Naruto fans related to poor dubbing
Is this guy just trying to get a rise out of me by being spectacularly wrong on purpose?
- bejd 5y agoThat's where they lost me. See also >Take for example wojak. Although originally used to further various right-wing talking points I wouldn't expect everyone to know the origin of every meme, but even a cursory internet search [0] will show that Wojaks started out far more benign.

- BurningPenguin 5y agoI wondered too. Wasn't it from Dragon Ball?
- toyg 5y agoThe content is definitely from DragonBall. Technically speaking, though, the meme could have emerged in any community with a knowledge of anime, since DragonBall knowledge is basically assumed in those circles. So it might be that Naruto fans brought DB into a discussion about bad translations. The reality is that, in most cases, nobody can really know for sure where a meme generated from - we can only witness the first usage in communities we observe.
