/jp/ - Otaku Culture

When searching for the origins of the phrase "the cake is a lie," most results will declare Portal as the source. I am aware, however, of the claims that it predates the game in its usage to respond to trolling in lolicon boards (i.e. someone posts a link to goatse or whatnot claiming to be a link to "delicious cake"). I presume the latter explanation is correct... But I'm wondering if anyone knows the etymology of "cake" as it refers to lolicon. When did this start and why? Are there any internet scholars out there with an expertise in the seedier elements and communities? I'm fascinated by this type of cultural history and its kind of sad if it can't be or isn't appreciated from an intellectual perspective.

TL;DR When and Why did lolicon become referred to as "delicious cake"

Cake death is the best death. Well, that and being fucked up by one of the nee-chans.
