The 'Posting Their L’s' and 'Posting Their W’s' gimmick accounts rose to prominence on Twitter during the early 2020s, serving as automated or semi-automated curators of the internet's most embarrassing defeats or celebrated triumphs. These accounts typically utilize a recognizable avatar—often a cat, a cartoon, or a specific pop-culture character—and act as a public record for 'cringe' moments or 'based' takes. The meme evolved from simple screenshots into a broader meta-commentary on social media status, where being featured by one of these accounts is considered the ultimate form of digital validation or public humiliation. Users now utilize the template to humorously categorize their own life events, fictional characters' story arcs, or celebrity drama as definitive, undeniable wins or losses.
