AboutWhat does the meme depict?
Vengeance Dad is an image macro meme featuring a digitally manipulated photograph of a family. The image shows a balding father isolated on the right side, while on the left, presumably the mother and two children are grouped together. This layout echoes themes like PTSD Clarinet Kid, where the meme format involves captions that portray the father recounting horrific, fictitious events involving his family caused by him or occurring due to his actions.
OriginWho did it first?
Vengeance Dad first appeared on 4chan's /b/ board on July 1st, 2010, as a request from users to caption a particular family photograph. This image was initially shared on the website Awkward Family Photos on June 18th, 2010. Depicting what might have been intended as a memorable family portrait, the picture uniquely positions the father away from the other family members, setting the stage for the grim fictional narratives that characterize this meme.[1]
Origin: 2010
