The phrase likely comes from the old internet meme “There are no girls on the Internet,” which was a joking, outdated stereotype about online spaces being mostly male. It’s also the premise behind the anime/light novel title And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online?.

What it means

  • The meme mocked the idea that women were rare online, especially in forums, chatrooms, and games.
  • It grew out of early internet culture where gender-swapping and trolling were common.
  • Today it’s usually treated as a relic of old internet humor, not a factual claim.

If you meant the title

  • The story follows Hideki Nishimura, who becomes skeptical about online girls after a bad experience.
  • The Japanese title is Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?.

Context

  • If this was a forum or meme quote, the “who said it?” answer is usually no single person ; it circulated broadly as internet slang and became a meme phrase.
