I never understood why turks are roaches. But I know exactly why we are monkeys.

I thought all anti-Turk memes came from Turkish shitposting against Kurds

Kurds as cockroaches -> Turks as cockroaches

One autistic Greek posted "Turks are cockroaches" in every single thread for a whole week, it picked up.

Before that, it was mostly used for Brits.

It's an evolved KC meme.
Hating on brits is a central theme on their /int/ and calling them cockroaches was part of the banter, often posting pictures of cockroaches with file names like "loyal subject of the queen".
Like many other great memes it was stolen by vier kannal and appropriated to turks by greek and bulgarian shitposters.
