The 'Anime Tiddies' meme originated as a colloquialism for fanservice in Japanese animation, eventually evolving into a multi-layered joke regarding the 'plot' of certain shows. It gained significant notoriety through the 'I watch it for the plot' phrase, where users sarcastically defend suggestive content as complex storytelling. This phenomenon culminated in one of the internet's most famous subversions, where the subreddit r/anime_titties was reclaimed as a serious world politics forum. Today, the meme is used to highlight absurd fanservice or to bait viewers into unexpected discussions about serious news and niche topics.
