About

I Hate Liberals So Much It's Unreal is an exploitable webcomic meme format in which one character explains that they hate a subject, often a group of people, followed by an undesirable character running toward them and supporting their statement with twisted logic, ending in the first character punching or crushing the second, causing them to explode in a bloody fashion. The original comic, which is used to describe how certain statements might attract an unintended crowd, was posted to Reddit in March 2021 and inspired several variations over the following years. The comic may be inspired by the viral "I hate women so much it's unreal" comment, which first appeared in 2019 as part of the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Ruined a Whole Generation of Women meme, although this is unconfirmed.
