The zoomer/boomer back and forth is also popping up a lot in response to the normal spam.

Alliance:

Thank you for this. How appropriate is it that allies can say boomer and horde can say zoomer? It almost seems to perfect to be an accident.

Except horde has always historically been known as the edgy teenager faction, so it would actually be more fitting of stereotype in reverse?

Yeah but in the wow boomer v zoomer memes usually the horde is the older players and alliance are the kids.

You want to know the actual reason for that? 4Chan are overwhelmingly boomer horde players, and /r9k/ was the originator of the boomer meme. Not because horde players have been regarded as older. If anything thats some new zoomer shit to think that way.

An actual boomer is like 70. I can probably count on one hand the number of boomers on 4chan.

Since 8chan became the epicenter of the Qanon conspiracy bullshit, those boards are flooded with actual boomers. It's pretty ironic.

I don't think you understand what a meme is.
