The 'You Guys Are Just Mean' meme originates from the hit Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, specifically featuring the powerful yet emotionally unstable antagonist Homelander, played by Antony Starr. The scene depicts Homelander in a moment of perceived vulnerability or manipulative self-pity, looking genuinely offended and uttering the line to a group of people. On the internet, the template exploded in popularity as a reaction image used to mock one's own sensitivity or to react to 'roasts' and criticisms that hit a little too close to home. It perfectly captures the irony of a character capable of extreme violence acting like a victim, making it a favorite for internet users to highlight dramatic or ironic hurt feelings.
