I think they forked it from Bytecoin and I think bytecoin may have been forked from bitcoin. All the same shit though.
Monero was 100% a bitcoin fork. Why would u claim it wasn’t ? Weird

No, Bytecoin is an entirely different protocol called CryptoNote. They don't share the same genesis block as Bitcoin either.
Did Bitcoin inspire Monero? Of course. Was either one a fork of Bitcoin? No
