Yelling Beaver
The "Yelling Beaver" meme is an Indigenous-themed artistic rendition of the globally popular "Woman Yelling at a Cat" meme. Created by Mixed Creatives, an Indigenous art and design company, it recontextualizes the original meme's dynamic. It typically features an Indigenous woman vehemently expressing frustration or surprise at a seemingly nonchalant beaver, often gnawing on wood. This meme is used to humorously depict scenarios of disagreement, a strong emotional reaction to a perceived slight or annoyance, or a contrast between two opposing viewpoints, all while incorporating Indigenous cultural imagery and aesthetics.
I Fear No Man
The "I Fear No Man" meme originates from Valve's 2007 video game, *Team Fortress 2*. It features the character Heavy from the "Meet the Heavy" promotional short. In the short, Heavy, a large and imposing character, confidently declares, "I fear no man," only to then comically admit, "But that thing... it scares me," while looking at a much smaller character, the Scout. This meme is used to express an ironic or unexpected fear. It typically presents a strong or seemingly fearless entity (represented by Heavy) confronting something that is generally considered trivial, harmless, or insignificant, yet surprisingly instills fear in the otherwise brave character. The template often includes a blank panel where users insert the specific "thing" that evokes this unexpected dread. It highlights humorous juxtapositions and is popular for conveying relatable moments of minor anxieties or disproportionate fears.
Avatar Guy
The 'Avatar Guy' meme features a screenshot of a Na'vi character from James Cameron's 2009 film *Avatar*. Specifically, it captures an older Na'vi male, often identified as Mo'at's mate and Neytiri's father, displaying a look of dawning, uncomfortable realization or mild confusion. This meme gained popularity for its highly relatable expression, making it perfect for reacting to situations where one slowly grasps an inconvenient truth, an unexpected outcome, or a subtly disappointing revelation. It's frequently deployed to convey moments of silent judgment, resigned understanding, or a slow 'oh, I see now' reaction to something previously overlooked or misunderstood, serving as a versatile reaction image across various online discussions.
