The 'Bark for Me' meme originates from the manga and anime series Chainsaw Man, specifically focusing on the character Makima and her submissive 'dogs.' In the story, Makima, the Control Devil, demands absolute obedience from the protagonist Denji, often treating him like a pet. This power dynamic resonated with the internet's 'simp' culture, leading fans to adopt the persona of 'Makima's Woofers.' The meme typically involves a command from Makima followed by the fan or subject literally barking in text form. It is widely used to humorously acknowledge one's own obsession with a character or to satirize the intense devotion seen in anime fandoms.
