The 'I'm A Healer, But...' meme originates from the anime series After School Dice Club (Hōkago Saikoro Club), featuring the character Aya Takayashiki in a healer's outfit brandishing a handgun. The image became a viral sensation within the gaming community as it perfectly encapsulates the 'aggressive support' playstyle where a player tasked with healing decides to deal damage instead. It is widely used to represent the moment a peaceful character or player loses patience and resorts to extreme violence. The meme has since evolved to fit various real-life scenarios where a helpful person is forced to take a firm, often aggressive, stance.
