Anyway who the fuck invented term "Lizard" ?

History of the Term

The derogatory term "Lizard" was originally coined on the YTMND forums in 2005 to mean an outsider trying to infiltrate the community. It was based off of "reptilian invasion" conspiracy theories and how only outsiders who did not understand the trolling culture of the forums would have positive reputation points (displayed as green bars under the username, like green scales on a lizard) as almost all the regular users had negative reputation points (red bars) from successfully getting each other angry.

In 2010 there was an influx of new users to the YTMNSFW forums from forums such as Reject Haven, They Banned Me, General Mayhem, Troll Kingdom, My Epic Drama Site, Post Anything Legal, Super Mensa, Mock Forums and Bastard Factory. These were a network of forums centered around a community that's uniting theme was often being banned from other forums. They prided themselves on disrupting and manipulating other forums but were banned most often for simply being annoying. Ergo this community attracted users who both enjoyed trolling but were not adept at grasping the social mechanics of other communities. Because some of these forums were managed by a woman who used the username "Iguana Goddess", due to her pet iguana, the Lizard term had a massive resurgence in use.

As this new breed of "Lizard" poster appeared more frequently it became readily apparent that the term was more fitting than could have been predicted. Not only did they genuinely attempt to infiltrate other online communities like the reptilian aliens of conspiracy lore, something that was only joked about happening to our community in the past, but this type of poster's defining features were their dysfunctional set of behaviors related to the amygdala. Since this part of the brain is present in most land animals and our distant evolutionary ancestors it has been given the nickname the "Lizard Brain". Please note that none of this is a joke or a gimmick and these people really do have about five different things to do with them based around lizards.

As this group of posters have been observed over the last five years it has become apparent that Lizards are not just a specific group of posters or even a message board archetype but a category of people that is all too prevalent in real life.
