    Etymology
    From glow +‎ -ie. Originated by Terry Davis, who stated in a 2017 video that “CIA n####rs glow in the dark”, implying that they are conspicuous. The term “glowie” would become popular on the 4chan /pol/ board around 2019.

    at this point it’s basically a racist dog whistle…

      it’s not a ‘racist dog whistle’ now, or at least that wasn’t my intention. it’s another word for three-letter agencies or sometimes even bigtech.

        just because it’s not your intention doesn’t change where it comes from and with whom it’s typically popular…
