The 'Meena the Elephant Hate' trend centers on the character Meena from the 2016 animated film Sing. While initially intended to be a shy, relatable protagonist, internet subcultures—particularly on TikTok and Twitter—began satirically attacking her for being a 'pick-me' character. The peak of this hatred stems from the scene where she sings 'Happy Birthday' to her grandfather, where critics argue she over-sings to draw attention to herself despite her supposed stage fright. The meme has evolved into a widespread ironic movement where users post exaggerated expressions of rage or disgust toward the elephant, often using edited images or frantic captions to mock her perceived vanity and attention-seeking behavior.
