The 'Sword of a Thousand Truths' meme originates from the iconic 2006 South Park episode 'Make Love, Not Warcraft,' which parodied World of Warcraft culture. In the episode, the sword is a legendary weapon capable of draining mana and ending the reign of a high-level griefer. In internet culture, the template features Stan Marsh holding the glowing blade, representing the delivery of a profound, unescapable, or controversial truth. It is widely used on social media to present 'based' opinions or uncomfortable facts that the audience must accept, much like the unstoppable power of the sword itself.
