About
Nut Button refers to an image of a hand going to hit a blue button, badly edited to have the word "NUT" on it. The image often has text above it, usually "When you're hitting it from behind and she turns around and moans 'X'", or something similar. Over the course of 2016, it evolved such that "nut" was replaced with different words and the captions were applied to several different, not always sexual subjects.
Origin
On December 6th, 2015, Tumblr user zakk.lol[3] posted the original image as a joke reply to a Smash the Like request from user browningtons. In the original image, the button said "LIKE." The post, shown below, has gained 129,729 notes as of January 12th, 2016.
Spread
On January 26th, 2016, Tumblr user kuma-dot-net posted the template with the title "when u see da anime bae and she thicc", and the caption "BOY" (below).[1] It obtained about 7,000 notes in 3 months.
On April 6th, 2016, Dolan Dark posted an edit of the image (below) on Twitter with the phrase "Don't ever nut to me or my son ever again", referencing Don't Talk To Me Or My Son Ever Again. In 3 weeks, it garnered over 200 retweets and 800 likes.
Over the course of the year, many more edits were made, with some changing the text on the button to fit different jokes. On January 11th, 2017, memearchives[4] reblogged zakk.lol's original post, after he had added "This is it. The original use of this image. I created this with pure intentions, and now it’s known only as the Nut Button."
