The Sissy Hypnosis meme originates from niche corners of the internet, often utilizing spinning hypnotic spirals and tropes associated with identity transformation and the 'pipeline' effect. In mainstream meme culture, it is frequently used ironically to describe how someone's interests or presentation might shift after spending significant time in specific online communities. The template is characterized by high-contrast spirals and dramatic captions that mock the concept of subliminal messaging or celebrate the humorously inevitable nature of online subculture influence. It remains a popular visual shorthand for the 'rabbit hole' experience of social media.
