About

Karate Kyle is an advice animal image macro series similar to Vengeance Dad and PTSD Clarinet Boy where the original photo consists of a digital composite of the subject's head enlarged around his entire body with the opacity decreased. The captions generally depict various violent acts Karate Kyle has performed in retaliation to being bullied.

Origin

On February 24th, 2011, the original Karate Kyle photo was uploaded to James Von Helton's Facebook[1] page. While no archived threads exist, it is rumored to have spread to 4chan shortly afterward. The first Reddit[2] post including the Karate Kyle photo wth the caption "They broke my pencils / I broke their necks" was submitted on February 25th, 2011 but had no mention of the name "Karate Kyle". The second Reddit thread[3] titled "Introducing Karate Kyle" later that day with a round-up of Karate Kyle image macros.
