# My Daughter Loves Him, I Think He Looks a Little Gay, But Whatever Makes My Prin... On May 6, 2020, a fake Facebook profile named Noel Wright shared a photo of BTS/NCT singer Jaehyun edited into airplane pilot clothes, with a caption from a doting-but-skeptical conservative dad about his daughter's crush. By late August 2020, Instagram user @punk_irl had turned the screenshot into an exploitable template, and remix editors started inserting Robert Pattinson, Bladee and Yung Lean into the father's suspicious gaze. ## Origin On May 6, 2020, a fake Facebook profile under the name Noel Wright posted the original image, which combined a Photoshopped shot of BTS/NCT singer Jaehyun dressed as an airplane pilot with the caption that gave the meme its name[1]. The underlying Jaehyun photograph came from a Taiwanese Dcard post dating to October 2018[2]. By August 2021, the Facebook post sat at roughly 5,000 reactions and 3,300 shares[5]. The Noel Wright account itself belonged to a small network of fake conservative-dad personas, and its profile picture was lifted from a March 2019 Tuscaloosa News article about a Florida man named Mark Marlow who said he was ejected from a lounge for wearing a MAGA hat[6]. That same photograph had earlier been reused for a fake Instagram identity called Henry Davis[5]. - **Platform:** Facebook (origin) / Instagram (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown (fake 'Noel Wright' Facebook profile) - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview Posts in the format take the Noel Wright screenshot and replace the Jaehyun pilot picture with an image of whoever the 'daughter' is supposedly dating[1]. Humor rides on the father's confused but permissive attitude: he reads the man as slightly suspect, often for looking effeminate or alt, and concedes anyway because his 'princess' is happy[5]. The caption text also travels on its own as copypasta, used without the image to tease someone's crush[5]. Favorite subjects of the template included soft-looking male celebrities and online figures whose appearance would clash with conservative-dad aesthetics. Bladee, Yung Lean, Robert Pattinson and the 'doomer e-boy' character all cycled through the format during September and November 2020[5]. Edits where a user inserted their own face, as @punk_irl did in the viral August 31 post, also became common[4]. ## How to Use To make a version, people typically keep the Noel Wright screenshot intact and paste a new picture over the Jaehyun pilot photo, choosing a target whose appearance would read as suspect to a stereotypical conservative father. The joke lands when the target is clearly beloved by the 'daughter' demographic (soft-featured celebrities, e-boys, K-pop idols) while being just alt enough for the dad to squint at. The caption can also be posted alone as copypasta to roast a friend's crush. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is My Daughter Loves Him, I Think He Looks a Little Gay, But Whatever Makes My Prin...?
