The Testicular Torsion Wizard meme features a classic fantasy illustration of a sorcerer, typically used alongside the caption 'I cast testicular torsion.' This meme grew out of the 'Wizard Posting' trend on social media platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, where users roleplay as eccentric or malicious wizards. It subverts the epic nature of fantasy magic by focusing on a hyper-specific, excruciatingly painful physical ailment as a form of combat. The meme is widely used as a surreal reaction image to end online disputes or to playfully 'threaten' others with an absurdly cruel magical hex.
