About

X When You Open Their Ribcage, also known as Violent Anti-Memes, refers to a series of parody fandom generalization anti-memes with captions about violently disemboweling or ripping open the ribcages of obsessive fans of various properties, typically using the phrasal template by replacing the subject at the beginning. The original meme shows The Boss Baby crying and starts "Pokémon fans when you rip open their ribcages." The meme became popularized in November 2021 across multiple social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter and iFunny. It is meant as an extreme parody of fandom generalization memes.
