The 'Heresy' meme primarily draws its inspiration from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where the Inquisition relentlessly hunts down those who defy the Emperor's will. Usually featuring an armored Inquisitor or a Space Marine, the meme is used as a hyperbolic reaction to social media posts that express controversial, unconventional, or just plain 'wrong' opinions. While it started within tabletop gaming communities, it quickly spread to mainstream internet culture as a way to shut down arguments or react to 'cursed' images. It serves as the ultimate digital judge, jury, and executioner for any take that violates the unspoken laws of common sense or tradition.
