The 'Everyone on 4chan Should Be on a Terror List' meme originated from a segment on a televised news program where a commentator expressed deep concern over the activities on the anonymous imageboard 4chan. The phrase quickly became a self-deprecating joke within the 4chan community, used to mock the exaggerated fear and misunderstanding that mainstream media often displays toward the site's subculture. In meme format, the quote is typically paired with images of relatively harmless or absurd content from the board—such as obscure anime discussions or food photos—to highlight the contrast between the media's 'terror' narrative and the actual mundane reality of many users. It serves as a staple reaction image for poking fun at moral panics and internet gatekeeping.
