The 'Power Bottom' meme originates from a term in LGBTQ+ culture describing a specific dynamic where the partner in the receiving role takes an assertive or dominant lead. In internet culture, the term has transcended its original context to become a popular character archetype and personality trope, especially within fandoms and 'shipping' communities. It is frequently used to describe characters who may appear smaller or less imposing but possess a fierce, controlling, or chaotic energy that dictates the flow of a relationship or situation. The meme often appears in the form of alignment charts, personality quizzes, or image macros that subvert traditional expectations of power and dominance.
