The 'Welcome Home Cheater' meme typically depicts a public confrontation or a sarcastic banner designed to embarrass someone returning from a trip. While it originated from real-life photos of scorned partners at airports, it evolved into a versatile internet template used to describe 'betraying' one's usual habits. It is frequently applied to gaming, where a player returns to their favorite title after briefly trying a competitor, or in sports, when a fan returns to their home team after flirting with a rival. Its humor stems from the dramatic over-the-top public shame associated with relatively minor infidelities in hobbies or preferences.
