    No no no, this is more urban/gen z/internet slang.

    This is the mostly white, middle aged, suburban/rural, racist, facebook-posting SovCit crowd starting to adopt some of the common lingo of younger, multiracial / ethnically diverse, twitch streamer/tiktok crowd.

    Honestly, etymylogically, it reminds me of how my white trash neighbors, when i was a kid, started calling themselves ‘wiggers’ as rap music began getting more widely popular just generally in the late 90s / 00’s.
