The 'I Like Girls' controversy surrounds YouTuber JoCat and his stylized animation set to a parody of Lizzo's 'Boys,' which celebrated diverse types of women. While initially appearing as a wholesome appreciation video, it unexpectedly triggered a massive wave of targeted harassment, accusations of 'cringe,' and eventually escalated to the creator being doxxed. This event became a significant flashpoint in internet culture, sparking discussions about the toxicity of social media dogpiling and the safety of independent creators. The meme is now frequently used to represent the absurdity of internet outrage and to show solidarity with JoCat after his subsequent hiatus.
