The Butthurt Dweller meme, also known as Kimmo-KM, originated around 2008 on Finnish imageboards and quickly spread to 4chan. The image features a young man who embodies the 'neckbeard' stereotype, often used to mock internet elitism and socially awkward behavior. In meme culture, it serves as a vessel for jokes about people who take niche hobbies, like gaming or anime, way too seriously while remaining overly critical of others. It remains a staple of early internet culture, representing the quintessential 'basement dweller' persona.
