Let's See Who Wins Vs. Dream

About

Let's See Who Wins Vs. Dream refers to an exploitable image macro series where a character's image is shown beside an image of Minecraft YouTuber Dream captioned "let's see who wins" encouraging users to like and retweet to choose the character on the left and comment for Dream, who is simply labeled "HIM😒" as if discouraging viewers from making the choice. The original meme was posted to Twitter in June 2021 and inspired variations over the course of the year, particularly on Twitter and Instagram. The meme is a version of the Who Would Win? format.
