The 'Peoplekind' meme originated from a February 2018 town hall meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, where Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau interrupted a woman's question regarding 'mankind' to suggest 'peoplekind' as a more inclusive alternative. The clip quickly went viral across social media and international news outlets, sparking massive debate and ridicule regarding political correctness and performative wokeness. While Trudeau later claimed the remark was a 'dumb joke' that didn't land, the term became a staple of internet culture used to mock hyper-progressive language or over-correction in social discourse. In meme culture, it is typically used to point out unnecessary gender-neutral phrasing or as a reaction image to portray someone as being overly pedantic about inclusive terminology.
