Don't ignore the red flag
Dialogue
Overview
This is a two-panel meme created from screenshots of a scene from the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones. The first panel shows the character Tyrion Lannister speaking to a figure whose back is turned to the viewer, overlaid with the text "She never fooled you." The second panel shows the same scene from the same angle, with overlaid text continuing: "You always knew exactly what she was, and you loved her anyway." The meme ties to its title by referencing the common relatable experience of willfully ignoring obvious negative traits (red flags) in a romantic partner, choosing to pursue or stay in a relationship with them even when you are fully aware of their harmful or unsuitable qualities.

![A two-panel meme featuring Syndrome, a character from the animated film 'The Incredibles,' set against a sunset ocean background. The top panel shows Syndrome with curly red hair, wearing a red and gold suit, displaying an anxious expression while clasping his hands. Overlaid text reads: 'There is no [blacked out] there is no [blacked out].' The bottom panel shows the same character with a more intense, defiant expression, leaning forward, with overlaid text: 'and there is no Epstein list.' The meme uses sarcasm to reference the controversial 'Epstein list' conspiracy theory by depicting Syndrome denying its existence, leveraging his villainous persona from the original film.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/3b/d6/55/8b/3bd6558bae1d0e9aa384ff243b4dad65.jpeg.webp)
