The 'Fans Explaining' meme, often associated with the 'Slander' montage trend, typically features a hyper-accelerated video of Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos frantically gesturing in front of a whiteboard. Emerging as a powerhouse format in late 2020 and peaking through 2022, these memes use high-speed footage to satirize the complex, illogical, or desperate justifications people make for their favorite media, sports teams, or lifestyles. The 'Slander' variation expanded this into longer compilations set to fast-paced music like the Powerpuff Girls theme, creating a standardized visual shorthand for community-based roasts and lighthearted gatekeeping across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter.
