The 'It Doesn't Affect My Baby' meme (frequently appearing with the common 'Effect' misspelling) typically features a two-panel comparison showing a pregnant woman claiming a substance or behavior won't harm her unborn child, followed by a depiction of the child grown up doing something nonsensical or idiotic. It gained traction on social media as a satirical way to mock people with questionable logic or notoriously unpopular opinions. By pairing a mother's overconfidence with a child's bizarre behavior, users highlight the unintended 'side effects' of poor choices, making it a staple for internet arguments and lighthearted roasts of niche hobbies and bad takes.
