#TonyTigerGate refers to the surreal saga involving Kellogg's Frosted Flakes mascot and his chaotic interactions with the furry community on Twitter. The drama peaked when the official Tony the Tiger account began blocking users following an influx of suggestive fan art and persistent 'thirst' comments that overwhelmed the brand's social media presence. This digital 'gate' became a symbol of corporate brand accounts losing control over their public image when confronted by niche internet subcultures. Today, the meme is used to satirize brand PR disasters or any situation where a wholesome figure is forced to acknowledge the more eccentric corners of the internet.
