That's a History of usage, not etymology
editNothing under "Etymology" defines it, explains the origin, explains the connection to the Greek letter Σ for sigma nor how it has evolved. You know, etymology. It's just a history of the usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:7800:9F15:5DC5:BB2D:CFCE:6CA5 (talk) 00:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

- https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/jun/12/the-sad-stupid-rise-of-the-sigma-male-how-toxic-masculinity-took-over-social-media "The expression “What the sigma?” – derived from another viral meme – is in vogue, though by the time you read this, it will probably be passé. All of this feeds into what’s described as “brainrot” – easily scrollable, low-quality content that gives meme culture an extra whiz in the blender."
- i'm fairly sure sites like know your meme would catalogue the origin of what the sigma too (as far as i'm aware, it went viral in a tiktok of a man sending a girl a voice note saying the phrase) Notnullptr (talk) 01:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Why is it specifically sigma?
editCan someone familiar with manosphere/omegaverse lore explain why it's specifically sigma over any other letter? Is it a reference to anything or was it just randomly selected? Is it known? 86.27.208.67 (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
