OriginWho did it first?
During his livestreams, Dalauan 'Low Tier God' Sparrow, a YouTuber and Street Fighter enthusiast, often made inflammatory remarks towards stream snipers and opponents, including telling them to 'kill themselves.' One such instance from a Super Smash Bros. stream before April 26th, 2020 gained notable online attention. Following a global ban from Capcom-related events in April 2020 due to his controversial comments, various edits of Low Tier God's rants began circulating online, with users remixing the clips with different music styles. On April 26th, 2020, a YouTube user named Remy Dyte posted an edited version of one rant set to Sonic 3 and Knuckles soundtracks. Another notable instance was when Twitter (now X) user @prowerrr_ posted an animated meme using SpongeBob to narrate the rant on May 4th, 2020. Prior to August 12th, 2021, an image macro featuring a photoshopped image of Low Tier God channeling lightning with the quote 'You should kill yourself… Now!' emerged, likely originating from a Discord server focused on trolling Low Tier God. The earliest known online repost of this image appeared on a 4chan thread on the /co/ board on August 12th, 2021.[1]
