Inspired by Ankha Zone, a new trend called That Cat Is Not Dancing started with a YouTube video posted on September 18th, 2021, by YouTuber Memotic. Rule 34 is an Internet adage in the 'Rules of the Internet' list of protocols and conventions which asserts that 'if something exists, there is porn of it.' The humorous concept is commonly illustrated through fanarts and fanfictions in which fictional TV and cartoon characters engage in sexual behavior, in similar vein to the 'Ruined Childhood' meme. The video (shown below) amassed 3 million views and 163,000 likes over three months.Īnother notable rule 34 meme was also created in late 2021 called Aunt Cass Checks Your Browser History which is a larger variant of the original Busty Aunt Cass trend. Aunt Cass is a character from the Pixar film Big Hero 6 who was remixed into a video posted on September 26th, 2021, by an animator on Newgrounds called Redmoa.
The video gained more attention after Redmoa posted it to his Twitter, where it gained over 48,000 likes and 8,500 retweets in two months. However, the tweet has since been deleted. Regardless, users began remixing the video on YouTube, making meme edits. For instance, YouTuber Arcade Assassin posted a video (shown below) on November 12th, 2021, that added in the Bonk sound and meme at the end of it.
