That feeling when someone says something you agree with on paper but you know what kind of person expresses that opinion so you just look at them like:
Overview
This meme is split into two sections. The top section has white text on a dark background that reads: 'That feeling when someone says something you agree with on paper but you know what kind of person expresses that opinion so you just look at them like:'. Below the text is a still frame of the character Homelander from the TV series The Boys, looking to the side with a disdainful, skeptical, unimpressed side-eye expression. The original post title references the 'all lives matter' phrase, which is widely recognized as bad faith rhetoric used to counter Black Lives Matter activism: while the phrase sounds positive literally, it is almost exclusively used by people holding anti-racial justice views, leading to the uncomfortable distrustful reaction depicted in the meme.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit via RSS feed. It uses a widely popular reaction still of Homelander, the villain character from Amazon Prime's The Boys series, paired with original text that describes the experience of distrusting a statement you nominally agree with because of the known bad positions of the person saying it, specifically referencing common discourse around the 'all lives matter' dog whistle in its original post title.
