The 'Doing Hurtful Things To Your Waifu Chart' is a specialized meme template that originated within niche anime circles on platforms like Pixiv, Twitter, and 4chan. It subverts the traditional 'waifu' culture—which usually emphasizes protection and affection—by asking fans to list or depict various forms of distress or cruelty directed at a character. The chart typically follows a progression from harmless teasing and emotional coldness to extreme psychological or physical scenarios. While often controversial due to its dark nature, the meme is frequently used by the community to explore 'edgy' humor, subvert moe tropes, or engage in ironic displays of character obsession.
