WAGTFKY, an acronym for 'We Are Going To Fucking Kill You,' is a reaction image format where a group of characters stares directly at the viewer with intense, often murderous expressions. While the sentiment has existed in various 'staring' memes, the specific WAGTFKY acronym gained massive traction within fandoms like The Amazing Digital Circus and various anime communities. It is typically used as a hyper-aggressive response to a bad take, a cursed image, or simply to convey a sense of impending doom in a humorous, exaggerated way. The meme relies on the jarring contrast between the often colorful character designs and the blunt, violent threat of the text.
