Scumbag Stacy is a popular image macro series featuring a young woman in a plaid hat, serving as the female counterpart to the infamous Scumbag Steve. The meme first appeared on Reddit in 2011 and quickly became the go-to template for highlighting stories about unfaithful partners, exploitative friends, or hypocritical behavior. While the real-life person in the photo eventually came forward, the character remains a staple of internet culture, used to satirize social situations where someone takes advantage of another person's kindness. It is characterized by its distinct two-part caption structure that sets up a scenario and delivers a selfish punchline.
