About

So Real for This is a catchphrase used on social media to praise someone for being "real," meaning that they are relatable and true to common human values. The phrase first gained popularity on Twitter in October 2021, and is particularly popular with stan accounts.

Origin

On October 5th, 2021, Twitter[1] user @mayaisfiya posted a screenshot of a TikTok which imagined a cat throwing up after thinking about giving birth to multiple kittens, captioning the screenshot, "he's so real for this." The post, which accumulated over 14,900 retweets and 174,900 likes in one year, is the earliest viral use of the phrase "so real for this" on Twitter (shown below).

In the following months, phrases "he was so real for this" and "she was so real for this" were used on Twitter to compliment celebrities on their down-to-earth, "real" actions.
