The Babadook meme originates from the 2014 psychological horror film of the same name. While the movie explores deep themes of grief, the internet quickly turned the terrifying monster into a viral sensation. The most popular template features the 'Why can't you just be normal?' scene, illustrating the frustration of dealing with chaotic situations or people. Interestingly, the Babadook also became an accidental LGBTQ+ icon after a Netflix glitch categorized the film as a queer movie, leading to a wave of memes celebrating the character's 'fabulous' and non-conforming nature. It is now widely used to represent social awkwardness, sudden outbursts, or ironic pride.
