The 'I Am A Girlboss I Am A War Criminal' meme is a satirical evolution of the 'Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss' slogan, mocking the way corporate empowerment culture can be used to mask or normalize harmful behavior. Originating as a commentary on the absurdity of 'toxic girlboss' energy, the meme gained massive traction on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr in the early 2020s. It typically features fictional characters or historical figures who are undeniably powerful but morally bankrupt, highlighting the hilarious dissonance between professional success and ethical atrocities. Users often pair this text with images of female villains or chaotic anime characters to emphasize the 'it's about the hustle' mentality taken to its most extreme and illegal conclusion.
