Small data point: on some parts of 4chan, calling people schizos is basically the new way to call out some trolls/haters that rely on wild theories and stuff like that. Considering there are multiple archives, it's probably easy to retrace the origins of the terms and their usage. The article engages in wild speculations, so I'll do the same here: I think part of the idea is removing the intention in other people. Trolls choose to be trolls, people suffering from schizophrenia don't choose this. Outside of that, it's the classic "framing people a certain way to dismiss what they say instead of replying to the arguments", which is already what's done when calling someone a troll. Another way the schizo stuff/aesthetic manifests itself is through memes. There's the trollge, the "I hate the antichrist" stuff, and now you can see some of the influence in the sigma/incel memes. I always wonder if people are studying this seriously, and if it's worth studying seriously. Does this stuff has any influence? Does this have any meaning? Is there a precise origin that tells a lot about society or people? Or is it just because it's funny?
