About

What's Hello Kitty for Guys is a catchphrase referenced in a series of posts that suggest various media that can be described as filling the same niche as the Hello Kitty media franchise does for girls. Spawned by a viral Tumblr post, the posts achieved prominence in mid-October 2024 following a question posted on X / Twitter that sparked a viral debate on the platform.

On May 8th, 2022, Tumblr[1] user crazy-brazilian posted an image of Apu Apustaja (Pepe the Frog) frolicking in a swamp captioned, "Just realized this silly frog is basically Hello Kitty for boys." The post (shown below) garnered over 5,800 likes and reblogs in three years.

On September 26th, 2024, X[1] user @SweetTea162 wrote, "Sonic the Hedgehog is basically Hello Kitty for guys," with the post gaining over 60 likes in three weeks (shown below).
