So… I never saw the “Brat! ??????“ until Scribble Hub. I always thought it was a reference to some tsundere-type deal. Repeated enough, it was just some funny anime reference. Since RepresentingEnvy used it, that gave it the sticker of approval for being a safe joke/reference in my mind. A bunch of other people make variations of the joke, but I trust her implicitly not to make very poor-taste references. At least, not intentionally.

So, I was very surprised to see the meme’s origins in SpaceBattles: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thr...ttles-in-any-capacity.1213175/#post-108633950

Who knows. Maybe y’all didn’t know either. Maybe I’m just the random puppet not in the know. Or maybe it is an urban myth and the meme is more wholesome.

But regardless, a couple checks on what Google brings up, the origin seems pretty consistent. Which is kind of disturbing and ruins the fun of it for me.

I thought the "Shitty brat" meme on SHF became it's own thing, pretty much disconnected from the original.
I’m too tired this evening for my mind to be flexible enough to disconnect the two.

My future self can maybe see that being true. Just shocked me. Thought I’d share.

I didn't start the meme on the forums either way. IIRC it was Ellie and Rhaps. When people started saying I was a brat and doing that, that's when I started using the meme.
I’m not blaming you or meaning to imply my trust has been betrayed or something silly and dramatic like that. Sorry if it comes off as critical of you in particular. The SB woman’s points about it just spreading around with its origins forgotten hold true for you too.

I was just summarizing my thoughts upon seeing the meme at first, copy and paste, which included a mention of you that may have been unnecessary. There is absolutely no subtext, or implied meanings of judgement, intended in the original post. My apologies.

Holy moly, the arts regarding this on knowyourmeme, holy...

So, does that mean you're in danger? I mean, you're smol.
@Envylope What? Did I say something bad? Wait...

*Realizes*

Can I have a timeout, please?
