The 'That's Cute' meme is a staple of internet sarcasm, typically featuring a character looking on with a patronizing or unimpressed expression. It is used to mock someone's perceived struggle, achievement, or 'tough' situation by suggesting that the speaker has faced much more significant challenges. Whether it's used with the Condescending Wonka or a sassy child protagonist, the 'That's Cute' trope highlights the gap between a beginner's pride and a veteran's experience. It remains a popular way to deliver a humorous reality check or playful gatekeeping on social media platforms.
