Didn't I already state this? I've never heard of qanon mentioned outside of a Full Throttle topic so I figure it started with him.

And you actually believe that "I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, so despite literally everyone telling me it gets mentioned elsewhere and trying to explain the reality of the situation to me, I'm going to believe that Duckbear made it up" is a rational thought process? Because it's really not. You not seeing it mentioned elsewhere just means you haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere. In a vacuum, that might support the assumption that it's just a GameFAQs thing (though even then, almost nobody comes here, so the notion of any broader cultural phenomenon originating here is pretty far-fetched), but when other people are telling you that assumption is wrong, you should at least be taking that as an indication that you should look into it further to confirm, even if you don't immediately accept that you're wrong.

As I said earlier, you could very easily substantiate this belief, if there were any actual reason for you to hold it. Go do that. Insisting on holding it for no other reason than "it seems like a plausible assumption, based on my extremely limited knowledge and experience of the matter" is just dumb.
