I was just browsing /co/ at work on my phone and saw a "Cute Robots" thread with Emmy in the OP, and the rest was history.

A history which, for as not-long as it's been, is a lot deeper than anyone could bother imagining. The story behind the fandom is the above-mentioned "Cute Robots" thread from the 25th of August, 2019. This was the first thread with Emmy, as she was in the OP, but not an Emmy thread if that makes sense. (Linked here https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/109588165/#109613501) The thread quickly focused on Emmy and a follow-up Emmy thread was made afterwards. This continued for the next few months as Dominic, via Instagram, would post new art, small comics, and other things like that which would then be made into new threads. It was at this point that Emmy was very much a flavor of the month character, and it showed. Threads were spammed incessantly when old ones died, necrobumping was constant because the momentum of the first handful of threads had been lost and now it was just spamming. This was what the Fall of 2019 was like, but this was rectified by a fandom figure known as Gosling Anon (given he would always post with Ryan Gosling images), a greentext writer and quality poster who stepped in to lay down some rules and to tell the thread spammer/necrobumper to kindly fuck off. This is where the fandom picked up the "rule" of only making a new thread for new content, which for all intents and purposes saved the threads for the future- Gosling Anon is justly revered as a deity at this point for this and other things. There was a Halloween thread, a Christmas thread, etcetera into the year 2020 with threads only really being made whenever Dom put out something new.
