The Internet Tough Guy meme embodies the classic 'keyboard warrior' archetype—individuals who use the anonymity of the web to issue exaggerated threats and boast about their supposed physical or professional dominance. It is most famously associated with the 'Navy Seal Copypasta,' a long-winded, aggressive rant that originated on 4chan in 2010. The meme is typically used to mock people who take online disagreements too seriously or who attempt to intimidate others with unbelievable credentials. Today, it remains a staple for calling out posturing and fake bravado in comment sections across the internet.
