The 'Deus Vult' meme features a knight in Crusader armor, typically associated with the Catholic military orders of the Middle Ages. The phrase, which translates from Latin as 'God wills it,' was famously used as a battle cry during the First Crusade. In internet culture, the meme rose to prominence through grand strategy gaming communities, such as those playing Crusader Kings II and For Honor. It is generally used to express intense, over-the-top religious or ideological zeal, often in a satirical or hyperbolic context. While it frequently appears in history-buff circles to celebrate medieval aesthetics, it has become a staple for any situation requiring a dramatic, armored reaction to perceived heresy or modern inconveniences.
