The 'Fellas, Is It Gay' meme originated from a series of social media posts, most notably on Twitter and Tumblr, that satirized extreme forms of 'fragile masculinity' where individuals would question if basic human behaviors were somehow unmanly. The format typically begins with the phrase 'Fellas, is it gay to...' followed by a completely mundane action like breathing, eating fruit, or looking at the sky, often paired with a pseudo-logical explanation for why it might be considered feminine. It became a viral sensation for highlighting the absurdity of gender stereotypes and evolved into a versatile template for poking fun at overly defensive or hyper-masculine social media tropes.
