The Misunderstood D-Bag meme, also known as Misunderstood Mitch, features a photo of a young man named Travis Weaver who appears to fit the 'douchebag' stereotype with his backward cap and popped collar. First appearing on Reddit in 2011, the meme follows a specific subversion format: the top text sets up a scenario that implies he is acting selfishly or rudely, while the bottom text reveals a surprising act of kindness or consideration. This contrast challenges quick judgments based on appearance and remains a beloved staple of the 'Advice Animals' era. It is widely used to poke fun at social stereotypes while highlighting unexpectedly positive behavior.
