About
"Please Disconnect the Bluetooth Speaker." (also known as "Bluetooth Speaker" or "We need to talk") is an exploitable template used to show a mother's disgust or concern in whatever audio the image is showcasing as being listened to while connected to a bluetooth speaker set downstairs. The text notification band at the top of the image is placed over a picture of someone listening to or watching something that could be considered strange or inappropriate.
Origin
The original photo (shown below), featuring a scene from Baku Ane: Otouto Shibocchau zo! The Animation [1] was posted by twitter user @nochiIInovember on March 7th [2]. The photo in question was confirmed to be fake by @nochillnovember after multiple questions of whether or not he was the original creator of the photo (multiple people had made an identical tweet as little as an hour afterwards.) He tweeted the photo below as proof of it being fake [3].
Spread
By March 9th, the original tweet had more than 17k retweets and 19k likes, with the image being posted on multiple image hosting site such as reddit [4], funnyjunk [5], tumblr, [6] and imgur [7]. Variations of the image, using the text notification band at the top, began appearing around the same time, with notable ones coming from reddit [8] and twitter replies [9].
