The term FUD has been around longer & broader than that. But thanks for the explanation.

I have no argument there, the phrase was definitely not created by them, it's just been beaten to death by them.

They've also overused a bunch of ancient and unfunny memes well past their expiration dates, and universally adopted a collection of depressingly dull and incorrect slogans. "FUD" is just the one that has interesting meaning outside their sad sphere.

No one follows those losers enough to know that except you. Apparently.

This is weirdly passive-aggressive. What are you trying to imply, that everyone who knows something you don't like is bad, regardless of why?

Expecting someone who doesn't follow cryptobro spaces to associate the term FUD with cryptobros and therefore stop using it is... kinda ignorant.

I agree with you, and hopefully my posts don't come across like that's what I believe. If anything, I'd prefer all phrases to be taken back from them.

I'm just trying to describe the other half of where different people see the word, and why they might come to different, incomplete conclusions.

You're fine, it's mostly fartmaster who's making problematic overgeneralizations...
