About

Topographical Map of Brazil refers to a series of memes where a trad girl wojak is shown receiving a compliment beside the caption, "Girls when they get a compliment," on top of an image of a topographical map of Brazil next to the caption, "Topographical map of Brazil." The meme was posted in August 2022 and gained viral spread, inspiring snowclone memes replacing the map of Brazil with another map. The meme is a parody of relatable memes. It has been suggested that the meme is a joke about men getting so few compliments, however, this is speculative.
