The 'Millie Bobby Brown Is Homophobic' meme is a satirical internet phenomenon that emerged on Twitter in late 2017 and peaked in 2018. It involves users crafting obviously fake, over-the-top stories where the Stranger Things star acts aggressively or uses slurs toward LGBTQ+ fans, often paired with Snapchat-style captions over photos of her looking disinterested. Despite Brown being a vocal ally, the extreme irony and absurdity of these fabricated encounters became a massive viral trend. The meme is primarily used to poke fun at the nature of celebrity rumors and internet cancel culture through extreme hyperbole, though it famously led the actress to deactivate her Twitter account due to the volume of posts.
