AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Death Knocking on Doors' or 'Grim Reaper Knocking on Door' meme features an image of the Grim Reaper, the personification of death, poised ominously at a door ready to knock. The image's distinctive aspect is the sequentially opened doors behind the Grim Reaper, each marked by blood pooling at their thresholds, suggesting the lethal outcome of the visits.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme first appeared on August 16th, 2013, posted by user xelha999 on Taringa. In its initial rendition, the Grim Reaper is draped in a United States flag while the doors are labeled with names of Middle Eastern countries like 'Iraq,' 'Libya,' 'Egypt,' and 'Syria.' This specific portrayal criticizes the United States' military interventions and foreign policies. Although this is the earliest known post, the concept of the cartoon likely originated earlier.
