# Don't Look At Her

Don't Look At Her, also called Tits Are Temporary, is an image macro where a character is edited into a NSFW photo to censor the nude woman while lecturing the viewer. It started on 4chan's /pol/ board in July 2016 with a wizard sprite from a 1992 DOS game and spread through Warhammer 40k, anime, and political subreddit communities from 2017 onward.

## Overview
Don't Look At Her, also known as Tits Are Temporary, is an image macro format in which a character is pasted into a NSFW photo to censor the naked woman while lecturing the viewer[3]. The added figure is usually pulled from anime, video games, comics, or politics, and takes the role of a moral chaperone pointing attention away from the body underneath.

The visual joke sits on the absurd pairing of a genuinely lewd source image and an incongruous character posing as an advisor. Common taglines include the phrase "Tits are temporary," which gave the format its alternate name[3]. Versions run from Warhammer space marines to Jordan Peterson to Superman, plus an inverted flip where an attractive fictional woman covers a serious political figure like Karl Marx[6].

## How It Spread
The first known face-swap appeared on March 12, 2017, when another /pol/ anon replaced the wizard's face with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson[3]. The Warhammer 40k community picked it up on February 21, 2018, when Facebook user David Sashalmi posted a version featuring a space marine over rule 34 fanart of Fairy Tail's Lucy Heartfilia to the 40k Inquisitionposting group, pulling over 360 likes in five months[7]. Three days later, the format hit Reddit through /r/gaming and /r/animemes, collecting over 6,500 and 650 upvotes respectively[5].

The /r/animemes subreddit turned into the main incubator for new variants. On April 16, 2018, user Oreshake posted a Darling in the Franxx edit that pulled over 2,800 upvotes in six months[2]. The next day a Morrowind version showed up on the Facebook page The Dankmagister of House Telvanni, collecting over 350 reactions[3].

A photo of amateur adult model Ultraviolet Darling anchored a wave of widely shared versions. The earliest Ultraviolet edit put Superman as her chaperone and hit 9gag on July 11, 2018, where it collected over 12,500 points in five days[4]. That same summer an inverted flip emerged: Oreshake posted a version with Azur Lane's Prinz Eugen covering Karl Marx, worth 5,600 points on /r/animemes[6]. A separate Karl Marx edit obscured by furry art landed on Funnyjunk on July 8, 2018[8].

## How to Use
To make a Don't Look At Her image, people typically start with a photo of a nude or scantily clad woman, then paste a fictional character (or notable public figure) over the exposed body parts so that character does the censoring. The caption is usually written in the voice of the pasted-in character, delivering unsolicited advice or a lecture[2]. Common conventions include the phrase "Tits are temporary" or wording along the lines of "don't look at her, listen to me"[3]. Inverted variants flip the joke by using an attractive fictional woman to cover a serious historical or political figure[6].
