I first noticed it on the "Talk Origins" newsgroup 20 years ago. Peddlers of evolution-denial keep getting "pwned," but have no shame. They never admit error, evade all the hard questions, and keep repeating their debunked lies. They're probably all MAGAs now.
I'm an old, and can't always keep up with what the youngs are up to. So could someone explain to me how "owned" became "pwned", and why?
It was a typo by a gamer/developer a bunch of years back and became a meme.

I guess I outed myself as tragically unhip (lol) by asking about something that started 20 years ago.
