SHILL IDENTIFICATION MANUAL: Ever wondered what the difference between a newb genuinely asking questions and a POS shill here only to sow discord and lies? The difference can hard to spot, but u/MyPillowHurts puts on a master class for anyone on GreatAwakening wondering how to spot 'em at work!

🧠 These people are stupid!
I don't know a lot of the GA slang and this seems good a place as any to ask! Am I right that a "shill" is someone who pretends to be on board with Q but is really just wanting to disrupt? Basically a concern troll?
What is a "pede"? I tried to look it up and the best I could tell it comes from centipede which seems strange. lol So maybe that's completely off base.
A "datefag" is someone who gets hung up on a set date for something to happen, right? What is a "glowfag"? I have no clue.
And why do peeps say "frens" instead of friends?
Allow me to impart more lingo.
The origin of kek.
In the game World of Warcraft, there are two factions of races battling against each other. To avoid collusion in "Player vs. Player" servers, there is a word scrambler such that one factions cannot understand the other. Each faction has a common language, Human for the Alliance, Orcish for the Horde. And when "lol" is said in Orcish, Alliance faction players read "kek" instead.
Then there's Pepe, a frog character turned meme.
It turns out Kek is also a deity from Ancient Egypt, represented by a frog, and the characters on the base of statues of Kek look like a person in front of a computer https://world.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/keke_pepe.jpeg
Since then Kek has become the purveyor of meme magic, and Pepe his prophet. Praise Kek.
Glowfag is someone who suggests violence is the solution, instead of waiting for law and justice to prevail. They're considered to be FBI agents trying to incite/honeytrap others to go along with their bad intent. They "glow" because everyone can see them for what they are.
Frens is what retarded pepe would say. Retarded pepe is a meme that represents a newbie who is still learning (or whatever else you want him to mean to you). Retarded pepe is cool enough that people would still emulate him, even if they are well learned. You either get it or you don't. Those who don't are usually liberal, because liberals are incapable understanding memes.
Pede comes from an early meme about Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKH6PAoUuD0 taken from a national geographic documentary about centipedes being "nimble navigators". Pede is more of a Trump meme than a Q meme, many Trump supporting communities call themselves pedes without reference to Q.
Most of the other explanations you gave sound about right.
From Knife Party, not a documentary:

Correction : The nickname pede, short for centipede, for Trump supporters, came from Can't Stump the Trump videos made during the 2015/16 presidential debates.
In the popular videos, Trump was called a lethal predator and "nimble navigator" which referenced the National Geographic documentary's description of centipedes. Clips from the centipede documentary were part of the intro to each CSTT video.
AFTER choosing to link Trump to the lethal and nimble predator, the centipede, the Can't Stump the Trump video creator chose music from Knife Party to underscore the centipede reference.
This is correct, generally someone who is intentionally there to mislead or derail the conversation.
I've been around for years and it doesn't make sense to me either. The source is from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKH6PAoUuD0. "pede" is kind of a joking, familiar term for internet anons.
Yup, datefag is someone who thinks something will happen on a certain date and is generally wrong 99% of the time. If we know, the DS knows.
Glowfag is generally a term for someone, specifically from the FBI (or CIA) who is pretending to be an anon and inciting violence.
Not exactly sure. Might be a demographic thing. People kind of started using it and it caught on. TruReporting kind of talks like that.
Yes, and usually shill accounts use stealth tactics to build reputation by trying to fit in but then very subtly begin to counterpoint or dismiss informative posts and comments while downvoting truth and upvoting other shills.
When I think of shill, all the definitions given fit, but in addition I think that shill implies an association to a superior (higher up) entity, or a group.
The reason I think this is because few people, not motivated by a higher allegiance, would put energy into shilling simply to satisfy an emotional idiosyncrasy, or advance a personal ideological position. Most people in standalone mode would simply avoid a site that did not agree with their thinking, I believe.
Absolutely agree.
