About
High Impact Sexual Violence is a series of image macros featuring close-ups of the faces of characters, typically animated, with the phrase “High Impact Sexual Violence” photoshopped onto the bottom of the image as a caption.
Origin
[WIP]
The earliest example of an image macro related to the meme can be traced back to a thread[1] on 4chan’s /v/ board discussing Australia’s classification of the PSP version of the 2010 role-playing video game Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland as having an R-18+ rating, a significant leap from the rating of PG that was previously given to the non-PS Vita version. The thread resulted in the creation of an image captioned “High Impact Violence.”[2]
