# When A Girl Says She Watches Anime On June 17, 2021, Twitter user @deadboyshit claimed that girls who say they watch anime really mean Demon Slayer, Hunter X Hunter, My Hero Academia, and Death Note. The post was ratioed with 6,600 quote-tweets to 170 retweets, and by September 2021, remixers were swapping those four screenshots for Minecraft Steve and American sitcoms. ## Origin Twitter user @deadboyshit posted the original claim on June 17, 2021, writing 'When a girl says she watches anime there's a 90% chance this is what she means,' attached to screenshots of Demon Slayer, Hunter X Hunter, My Hero Academia, and Death Note[1]. The tweet was ratioed, with roughly 6,600 quote-tweets against just 170 retweets as replies mocked the gatekeeping premise[6]. - **Platform:** Twitter - **Creator:** @deadboyshit (original tweet); parody format creators unknown - **Date:** 2021 ## Overview In the parody version, posters keep the original tweet's exact text while swapping the four anime screenshots for a chosen theme. @skibbob substituted pictures of popular American television shows[5], while @songofstormss filled all four panels with Minecraft's Steve[4]. Each remix mocks the premise that girls only watch a mainstream anime canon. The humor works on two levels: it ridicules the gatekeeping tone of the original tweet, and it lets posters show off their own niche picks. @SUGARMOUNTAINS kicked the mockery off by invoking 'Is It Wrong To Piss On My Bunny Girl Sisters Feet,' a fake fanservice title parodying the long real names common to light-novel adaptations[2]. ## How to Use Copy the original tweet's setup line and attach a 2x2 grid of four themed images. The joke lands when the four images are absurd substitutes for the original anime lineup, as @songofstormss did with four Minecraft Steves[4] and @skibbob did with American sitcoms[5]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is When A Girl Says She Watches Anime?
