About

WYD In This Situation? is a catchphrase and copypasta often posted alongside sexually suggestive content or content depicting a dangerous situation to ask viewers what they would do if they were in the shown situation. The phrase became popularized online on sites including X and Instagram in 2019 in both memes and as a way to advertise OnlyFans accounts and adult content. WYD has inspired similar memes in the past, including This Guys Slaps Your Girlfriend's Ass, WYD? and WYD After Smoking This.

While it is unclear when the first meme to use the phrase "wyd in this situation?" was posted, the earliest known example of the phrase was posted by X[1] user @KvngFinessin on June 21st, 2016, garnering no interactions in seven years. The first notably popular example of the meme was posted on December 17th, 2019 by X[2] user @KvngFlee, who posted the phrase over a promotional image for The MEG showing a giant shark rising from the water to eat a woman, garnering over 7,000 likes in four years (shown below). A screenshot of the post, often with an additional comment reading "die…? Tf else would I do?" gained viral spread, including a reposted by Instagram[3] user consonancie on December 20th, garnering over 65,000 likes in four years.
