The 'Into The Trash It Goes' meme, often accompanied by the phrase 'Opinion Discarded,' is a versatile reaction image used to dismiss arguments or ideas deemed worthless. It typically depicts a character—most famously an illustration of a man or a chibi anime girl—ceremoniously tossing an object into a garbage bin. Originating on imageboards like 4chan, the meme gained traction as a shorthand for signaling that a conversation partner's input is invalid or fundamentally flawed. Over time, the template has evolved to include various characters and variations, serving as the internet's go-to visual for shutting down 'hot takes' and unpopular opinions with swift, comedic finality.
