The 'I fear no man. But that thing..it scares me' meme originates from the 'Meet the Pyro' animated short released by Valve in June 2012 for the game Team Fortress 2. In the video, the Heavy—a character known for his immense strength and bravery—confesses his genuine terror toward the enigmatic and chaotic Pyro. The meme quickly gained popularity as a format to describe something that is intimidating even to the toughest individuals. It typically features three panels: the Heavy speaking his lines, followed by a reveal of the 'scary' object, which is often something humorous, relatable, or surprisingly powerful.
