The 'Legbeard' meme serves as the female counterpart to the 'Neckbeard' stereotype, emerging from internet imageboards like 4chan and Reddit in the early 2010s. It typically characterizes a woman who is perceived as socially inept, unkempt, and aggressively opinionated about niche topics or radical ideologies. Visually associated with unshaven legs—hence the name—and often depicted through modified Wojak characters, the meme is used to satirize a specific brand of online elitism or social exclusion. While often used in gender-war debates, the Legbeard archetype has become a staple in internet culture for poking fun at the 'chronically online' lifestyle and those who take internet arguments more seriously than real-world interactions.
