Everyone's taking their anger out on Sasuke in this hilarious new meme

Twitter is truly sadistic.
By Sage Anderson  on 

Some may feel the need to let out some steam by making some memes. The internet's latest victim of rage-induced meme-ing just happens to be *checks notes* Sasuke Uchiha?

Yes, that's right. Anime fans have blown up the Twitterverse with memes featuring the character from the popular show Naruto.

While the original image is actually from a pretty tense scene in the anime where Sasuke's older brother pushes him against a wall and accuses him of being weak, the meme takes a far more satirical approach.

The meme appears to have first originated from Twitter user @kirikocult, who combined two images to feature Sasuke getting choked by an adorable cat, according to Know Your Meme.

Now it seems like everyone wants a piece of the "choking Sasuke" action, with results ranging from American pop culture to political figures and more.

Some variations of the meme even included other fictional characters, like Shrek and Spiderman.

And some were just truly bizarre combos.

Man, poor guy — what did he even do to become Twitter's collective punching bag for a day? What's that? Oh, I guess by technically being a war criminal. Whoops.
