The 'She Doesn't Have the Range' meme originated on stan Twitter as a way to critique the versatility of actors and singers, famously gaining traction through a 2017 thread about Lupita Nyong'o. While it began as a serious debate regarding artistic depth, it quickly evolved into a satirical tool used to mock overly critical fandoms or to apply the concept of 'range' to inanimate objects and everyday situations. The meme typically pairs a celebrity photo with a dismissive caption, serving as a humorous commentary on the high expectations of internet culture. Today, it remains a staple for lighthearted gatekeeping and pop culture discourse.
