"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."
What I understand this originates from is "not based on anything", so essentially bucking the trend or the norm. Doing things not because something or someone told them.
It's 4chan type of language, itself an alt-right cesspool.
Gotcha.. From reading all the responses, it sounds like the word and meaning itself isn't really objectionable, it's more the people that use it. Which isn't something a search engine tells you.. ๐
It's gone mainstream. I hear it in high schools all the time from many different students. I think it's pretty unobjectionable.
