Perfect example of this in action is Bronies or the 👌 hand symbol, both were either ops or jokes in 4chan that evolved into people taking them seriously then either unironically watching MLP or using the ok hand as a fascist symbol.
Also, basically what happened to Conservapedia. It started out as a conservative echo chamber/safe space, and then trolls started pouring in and turning up the batshit insanity dial to 11. The cons went along with it because, well, they’re conservatives, and they wholeheartedly believe everything they read on the internet.
