# We Like Older Women We Like Older Women is a catchphrase and image macro that places the titular line beneath pictures of older anime women to confess attraction to them. Tumblr user witch-lord-kyron posted the first known version on December 8, 2015, using fanart of Rinko Iori from Gundam Build Fighters[1]. By the 2020s, Reddit and X users were applying the same caption to Frieren, Genshin Impact NPCs and Vtuber screenshots[5]. ## Origin A TinEye reverse-image search surfaces the earliest known post from December 8, 2015, by Tumblr user witch-lord-kyron, whose account has since been deactivated[3]. That post set the line 'we like older women' beneath a Rinko Iori illustration drawn by the pixiv artist むむむ for Gundam Build Fighters fan circles[1]. Rinko is the mother of the show's teenage protagonist, which fits the format's running interest in canonically adult, often maternal anime characters rather than schoolgirl archetypes. The picture circulated through anime boards for years before being locked in as a reusable macro. - **Platform:** Tumblr (origin), Reddit and X (viral spread) - **Creator:** witch-lord-kyron (earliest known poster, Tumblr) - **Date:** 2015 ## Overview The format is basic: a photo or illustration of an older anime woman sits above the flat line 'we like older women,' with the plural pronoun giving the admission a mock-communal, chanted feel[3]. Posts land as reaction images under character threads, as confessions in fan subreddits, or as standalone appreciation posts aimed at new seasonal anime moms and MILF-coded characters[2]. The humor leans on sincerity more than irony: the caption never changes, the image does the lifting, and the joke is the group endorsement. Variants swap the character while keeping the wording word-for-word, so the template works for nearly any woman read as canonically adult rather than teenage[5]. Later edits stack multiple characters in grids to argue that an entire season, franchise or Vtuber agency qualifies[6]. Animanga Twitter and the various '-jerk' subreddits treat it as a running gag whenever a show adds a visibly grown woman to its cast[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is We Like Older Women?
