Yes, but now it seems to have broken out of containment from basements worldwide and into the wider world, ie everyone sounds like a horny socially maladjusted weaboo from 4chan

edit: localizing the data to canada or the usa flattens the graph even more, look at the past 5 years or past year for the usa in trends and it's very stable
