It was pretty explicitly "other people know about this? Maybe they heard about it from Full Throttle."

Which sounds like something I would have said for the sake of argument.

What is your basis for expecting that?

You called it a broader cultural phenomenon. In which case I expect I would have heard about it.

The vast majority of people have never heard of Rocket: Robot

So far no one has tried to convince me that Rocket: Robot is responsibly for the drop in trust of news media. It's more believable that it exists because no one is attributing anything remarkable to it. However, since so many people distrust the media they should also be aware of the thing responsible.

Oh look, Dailymail talked about Qanon all on their own in discussing this incident. I guess that means your baseless assumption was incorrect. Who knew?

You and I have discussed this subject prior to that article being made available. Clearly Full Throttle didn't invent it in this topic. This does not mean that he didn't invent it in an earlier topic. The evidence that they are aware of it now doesn't indicate when they became aware of it. Nor does that tell us who mentioned it first.

Go to the GameFAQs log site, sift through all topics by Full Throttle and mrduckbear (they are one and the same) to find his earliest mention of Qanon, then find the Dailymail article that corresponds to that topic. I guarantee the article will predate the topic, debunking your theory in its entirety.

Then you do it. Why should I go to that effort for something that won't benefit me?

You have not substantiated that belief. You have not put any actual consideration into that belief.

And yet I continually refute your arguments against it. You say awareness of the qanon is wide spread. I say hardly anyone knows what that is. You say it's responsible for conspiracy theories. I say it doesn't really exist and it's convenient for news media to place the blame on that rather than their own actions. Those are the basic the facts we disagree on. Full Throttle inventing it is based on Full Throttle topics being the place where it has the most recognition and discussion.
