This image is a screenshot of a public post from X (formerly Twitter) user @canal_horaplay, translated from Portuguese. The post features sarcastic text commentary paired with 8 hyper-realistic AI generated bust portraits of popular female characters from the Capcom Resident Evil video game franchise, including Ashley Graham, Ada Wong, Jill Valentine, Rosemary Winters, and Claire Redfield. The post text sarcastically celebrates that Capcom has imposed an 'unrealistic and nonexistent beauty standard' for its female characters even when basing designs on real women, mocking common critical discourse that argues video game female character designs are unachievable and unrealistic. All characters are shown with conventionally attractive features, matching their in-game designs rendered to look like real women.

This is a two-panel satirical comparison meme. The left panel displays a real 2019 American Eagle Outfitters advertisement featuring a plus-size Black woman with long purple braided hair, dressed in a blue strapless top and high-waisted denim jeans, posing against a vibrant pink neon background. The right panel is labeled as the 2026 version of American Eagle's ad, and shows actress Sydney Sweeney, a slim white woman with short blonde hair, wearing a fitted white t-shirt and light wash distressed denim shorts, posing with her hand on her hip against a sunny blue sky background. The meme is paired with the original title 'Nature is healing', which is used humorously to suggest that brand advertising is shifting away from the late 2010s body positivity and diversity trend back to featuring conventionally thin, mainstream-attractive models.

This is a screenshot of a viral Twitter thread turned meme. The top post from the verified New York Post account announces an unnamed 19-year-old as 2020's 'Most Beautiful woman in the world', paired with a portrait photo of the woman. Twitter user @ToniaCamille (Camillelam) replies to disagree with the claim, saying 'I beg to differ' and posting her own portrait photo to imply she is more beautiful than the selected woman. A third user Vincent replies to both users with the punchline 'you gonna be begging for a while', agreeing that Camille is more attractive, creating a funny joke pushing back against mainstream media's beauty picks.
