About
Scumbag Fat Girl (also known as “Fat Girl”) is an advice animal image macro series featuring a photograph of a blonde woman wearing the scumbag hat with a purple and blue color wheel background. The captions typically portray the character as the smug and judgemental female counterpart to the Butthurt Dweller advice animal series.
Origin
According to Google cached results, a page titled “Fat Girl” was created on the image macro website Meme Generator[1] as early as February 24th, 2010, with the first instance containing the caption “She told me I was fat / so I ate her” (shown below, left). The original image macro template featured a photo of a blonde woman with a purple and blue color wheel without the Scumbag Hat exploitable added on. On March 31st, 2011, FunnyJunk[3] user shadythomas uploaded a compilation of notable examples in a post titled “Scumbag fatgirl”, which included a new version of the template with the superimposed scumbag hat (shown below, right).
