The term 'Infohazard' originated in academic and rationalist circles to describe information that can cause harm to those who know it, but it gained massive internet notoriety through the SCP Foundation community. In meme culture, Infohazards are often presented as 'cursed' images or text that once seen, cannot be unseen—ranging from the infamous 'The Game' to complex philosophical paradoxes like Roko’s Basilisk. These memes typically utilize high-contrast warning labels, distorted aesthetics, or redacted text to simulate a sense of forbidden or reality-bending knowledge. They are popular in niche communities that enjoy psychological horror, meta-humor, and the playful idea that some secrets are better left unshared for the safety of the viewer.
