>A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds?

What makes you say that? And what does the alt-right have to do with 4chan?

I can't really tell, but it's my considered opinion that the intersection of 4chan and the alt-right is so recursively lulzing that nobody involved really knows who's serious. Or even what "serious" might actually mean. But maybe I'm just old, and set in my ways.

For a while in the early-mid 2010s, /v/ and /pol/ were rallying points for what we would today call the alt-right.

To this day, the pervasive politics of most of 4chan are hard right, leaning into ethnostatism.

You'd be hard pressed to find an alt right rally without heavy 4chan cultural aesthetic (pepe, kekistan, etc)

Yeah, not sure I really felt old until this moment.
