About

FrogTron is the name of the crack shipping of popular YouTuber Jonathan "JonTron" Jafari, and Tsuyu "Froppy" Asui from Boku no Hero Academia

Origin

FrogTron originated on 4chan's /b/ board in a Hunger Games Thread on August 22nd, 2016 [1]. The following day, a new thread was created with the intent on making FrogTron a meme[2], leading to a raid on the My Hero Academia Wiki, and the page for Tsuyu Asui to be vandalized.[3]

On August 23rd, 2016 an official FrogTron twitter account[4] was created with the sole purpose of getting JonTron to mention the pairing.

On August 31st, 2016, FrogTron made it's way to Tumblr in the form of an official blog ran by the same person that runs the FrogTron Twitter account[5]. The goal of the blog was to try to give move exposure to the pairing. The blog posted art made by users of 4chan, and things relating to both JonTron and Tsuyu Asui. (As of February 20th, 2017 this blog has 120+ followers.)

Thirteen days later, on September 13th, 2016 FrogTron became a running joke on the blog kibou-dere[6]. FrogTron started to gain traction on Tumblr, before moving it's way to the /v/ board in November of 2016.

Thanks to a few successful threads on November 16th, FrogTron gained more fan art, a fanfiction[7], and even songs[8][9][10][11][12].

Spread

A few hours after the threads were posted, still November 16th, 2016, Tumblr and /v/ board user magic-resistance-guy[13] posted a compilation of different art created by users of 4chan and Tumblr, where it amassed 2,000+ notes[14].

As the pairing gains more success on Tumblr thanks to the official blog continuing to post ( now expanding out to images of the two in video games such as Sims 3[15], Super Smash Bros. 4[16], and Tomodachi Life[17]), the internet celebrity involved in the pairing has yet to take notice of it.
