Originating from the 1996 Arthur episode 'D.W.'s Library Card,' this meme features the character D.W. Read defying a sign because of her illiteracy. It went viral as a way to mock individuals or groups who blatantly ignore warnings, rules, or logical advice. The image usually depicts an authority figure pointing to a sign with specific text, followed by D.W.'s iconic line. It has become a universal symbol for willful ignorance, used to joke about everything from ignoring software terms and conditions to disregarding health warnings or social etiquette.
