"It Was Me, Barry!" refers to a dramatic monologue delivered by Eobard Thawne, also known as Reverse-Flash, where he reveals himself as the architect of Barry Allen’s suffering. While the phrase originated in DC Comics and its animated adaptations like The Flashpoint Paradox, it evolved into a viral internet phenomenon known as "Zoomposting." This meme subculture depicts Thawne as an obsessively petty antagonist who uses his super-speed to sabotage Barry's life in the most minor, inconvenient, or absurd ways possible. Popularized on platforms like 4chan and Reddit, the template is used to explain any minor misfortune—like a stubbed toe or a cold cup of coffee—as a deliberate act of super-speed sabotage by a dedicated hater.
