UPDATE (): We have been informed that the original image comes not from Instagram but from the Cuphead Discord.For example, one account posted the image in 23 October 2017. However, the original image appears to have circulated among various meme Instagram accounts in late October 2017. It is unclear when or whence the original captioned image appeared.For example, the original image features Cuphead with the caption, “the person below triple gay”.In instances of the meme, an image of Cuphead is often presented along with a caption that other users are “triple gay”.This meme is primarily an image-based meme that typically features Cuphead, the titular character in the video game Cuphead.
