The '(You)' or 'Here's Your (You)' meme originated on 4chan, where the site's interface marks replies to a user's post with a '(You)' tag. It evolved into a sarcastic reaction image used to dismiss 'bait' or posts clearly designed to provoke a response for the sake of attention. Typically featuring a character—often a brainlet, Wojak, or Pepe—handing over a gold star or a literal representation of the '(You)' notification, it serves as a way to acknowledge the poster's effort while simultaneously mocking their desperate need for validation. It is a staple of image board culture, used to signal that while a user succeeded in getting a reply, their tactics were transparently needy.
