The Meggy Uprising

Overview
In the month of April 2020, a group of users started something on the discord server that would become known as "The Meggy Uprising". It is to date the biggest event that has ever happened on this server.

The Character
Meggy is a character who was introduced to SMG4 in 2017 with the episode "If Mario was in... Splatoon".

The Original Impersonators
The r/SMG4 server has had its fair share of character impersonation accounts, but no character has been impersonated as much as Meggy. At the start of April 2020, there were a total of 6 users named Meggy and with a Meggy profile picture.

How it started
On 5th April, 2020, the users NathanOS, Swordstealer101 and WaterWizard3214 were talking in the server about the ridiculous number of Meggy Impersonation Accounts there were on the server, which was getting confusing as the chat would say "Meggy and Meggy are typing..." It got to the point where Nathan proposed the interesting idea of getting everyone to change their names to Meggy, and it was also suggested that people change their profile pictures aswell. Even some of the mods decided to join in. Thus, the Meggy Uprising was born.

The Growth & The Server
Over the next month, the number of Meggies grew alarmingly fast, with a user creating a seperate server specifically for the Meggy Uprising (More information in the linked article). At the height of this uprising there were around 1000 meggies. The uprising was even spread to the subreddit, confusing many non-discord users and making an even funnier scene.

Death, Revival and Death Again
As the original members migrated over to The Meggy Server and the r/SMG4 server got bored of the meme, the once massive uprising began to die down. Explaining it to new members was tiring as hell, and we had to do it so many times that on 26/06/2020, the original creator initiated another meggy uprising by changing his name to Meggy by surprise. This grew even bigger as a result of the increased amount of members, as well as The Meggy Server being notified. This became known as "The Meggy Uprising 2" or "The Meggy Revival". However, naturally, this meme died as quickly as it started.

Legacy
The Meggy Uprising was to date the biggest event to ever happen on the r/SMG4 server, and it paved the way for many uprisings to come (e.g.The Cheese Uprising). It may be over, but no-one will ever forget the day when a whole discord server was taken over by orange squid clones.
