This meme combines a viral screenshot of actor Pedro Pascal at the 95th Academy Awards (2023) with a text overlay to create a relatable joke about dating dealbreakers. The top text reads: 'When the woman you meet is a ten out of ten but then you see how she treats animals'. Pedro Pascal's expression—covering his face in apparent distress and disappointment—visually represents the intense letdown someone feels when they find out a person they were attracted to (rated a perfect 'ten out of ten' for their looks/charisma) has a major, unforgivable flaw: mistreating animals. The humor stems from the universal idea that kindness to animals is a non-negotiable trait for many people, making this a relatable take on dating priorities and moral values. The background shows the Oscars audience, with other people applauding, which contrasts with Pascal's distressed reaction, emphasizing the personal, gut-punch disappointment in the scenario.

The image below shows a real tabby cat with half-lidded, unbothered eyes leaning into the owner's chip-stained finger that rests on its head.
