The Exodus

The Exodus was the name given either to the pattern of departure of 3 major tripfags in late 2021, or to the departure of one in particular, Karenfag. The name is somewhat of a misnomer, given that a) it implies a permanent absence when in fact TTYD Fan#4689 had come and gone several times beforehand, and Perifag never formally left, just stopped tripping. Nevertheless, it is doubtful that Karenfag will ever return, as will be explained in the following section. Though /who/ mourned their absence for a couple of days afterwards, there is no doubt that the Exodus had a positive effect on the general, as it enabled us to once again talk about the show we love, i.e. Doctor Who.

Recurring dreams like Earth had of the Simm Master in The End of Time plagues /who/ and Karenfag alike. Eventually he decided that his fame was too much for him and deleted his wikia blog, posted pictures of his "children" to /who/ and left forever, leaving his tripcode available to all.

In the following weeks, many Karenfags abounded, imitating his posting style to varying degrees. In this way he achieved rather elegantly puj's original goal, even managing to get everyone to use the same tripcode. This went even further and variations on the theme appeared, like Evefag and Clydelangerfag whonpolluted the general before getting beaned.

The possibility of a return remains open, however with the tripcode now being public it will be difficult to separate the grain from the chaff. A-at least we still have puj, right?

A proto-exodus?
Some pundits interpret Binge's demise in Birmingham as a precursr to the exodus, which is fitting as a certain level of bingespam returned during the peak of Karenfag imitation. This is complicated by several factors: Binge's continuing presence on /who/ and /who/-adjacent communities and Binge not actually being a trip. In the end, this is mostly just historical revisionism and a desire to make a huge event out of what amounted to some Schizos spamming. Any /who/ser will have a neutral opinion on or will have forgotten binge, while phenomena such as Asher and KF were much more organic.

The current exodus matches the previous exodus of tripfags from the general, but this is outside the scope of this article. Would you like to know more?
