The 'Realistic Depiction of a Panic Attack in Animation' meme gained traction following the release of films like 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,' where viewers praised the nuanced portrayal of mental health. Internet users quickly turned these emotionally heavy scenes into a versatile reaction format. While initially used to discuss genuine representation in media, it evolved into a hyperbolic way to describe everyday stresses—ranging from social awkwardness to minor technical glitches. The meme highlights the contrast between high-quality, dramatic animation and the often humorous, exaggerated anxieties of daily life.
