About

Waow (Based Based Based) refers to an exploitable drawing in which a male character is outraged about a situation and the second character, a smaller girl, says "Waow" as though she's offended but is internally thinking "Based Based Based …" The image first spread concerning the Keffals Catboy Ranch Controversy but has since been edited to fit various controversies and topics. It is particularly prominent in LGBTQ circles online.

Origin

On September 4th, 2022, Twitter / X user @LibSocAPro^[1] posted a drawing in which a man angrily exclaims, "She was helping MINORS get HRT," seemingly a reference to Keffals promoting DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy on Discord during the Catboy Ranch controversy. The second character, drawn as a small girl, replies "Waow!" while thinking "Based Based Based …" in a thought bubble.
