The 'Clovergender' meme originated in late 2016 as a coordinated hoax on 4chan's /pol/ board. Designed as a 'false flag' operation, the goal was to discredit the LGBTQ+ community by associating them with harmful groups through a fabricated identity and flag featuring a green four-leaf clover. While some initially believed it was a legitimate movement, it was quickly identified as an internet raid intended to provoke outrage and media coverage. Today, the term is primarily used as a case study in how digital trolls weaponize social justice language to create division, often cited to demonstrate the mechanics of internet misinformation and astroturfing campaigns.
