The 'I Don't Care If You Win, I Just Need X To Lose' meme originates from a pivotal scene in the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi. In the movie, General Hux reveals to the Resistance that he is acting as a mole, not because he believes in their cause, but because his burning hatred for Kylo Ren outweighs his loyalty to the First Order. This quote perfectly encapsulates the concept of 'hater energy,' where an individual's primary motivation isn't their own personal gain, but the specific failure of a rival. The template became a staple on social media for describing sports fans rooting against a rival team, political pettiness, or any situation where spite is the ultimate driving force.
