The 'Why Wub Woo' meme, also commonly referred to as 'Dashface,' features a distorted and exaggeratedly cheerful expression of the character Rainbow Dash from the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Originating from the Brony subculture around 2011, the image was edited from a specific frame in the series to create a bug-eyed, wide-mouthed look that conveys a mix of intense cuteness and mild creepiness. The accompanying phrase 'Why wub woo?' is a baby-talk rendition of 'I love you,' often used in internet forums and image boards as a reaction to something adorable or to ironically express overwhelming affection. Over the years, it has remained a cult favorite for its versatility as both a wholesome and slightly unsettling reaction image.
