The 'Bye Felipe' meme originated from a viral Instagram account launched in 2014 by Alexandra Tweten to document the hostile reactions men often have when ignored or rejected on dating apps. A play on the iconic 'Bye Felicia' line from the movie Friday, the term 'Bye Felipe' became a rallying cry for women facing online harassment. The meme typically uses screenshots of real conversations where a person flips from overly complimentary to aggressively insulting in seconds. Beyond just a joke, the template serves as a social commentary on dating culture, allowing users to find humor and solidarity in the face of toxic online interactions.
