Yeah Bro I'm Masculine

About

Yeah Bro I'm Masculine is a catchphrase used in a series of memes in which a person claims they are masculine, then reveals that they always pick the female option when given the choice in a video game, or do something else arguably feminine. The memes often feature a female character, representing the character choice, dancing, with some of the most popular examples using a clip of Ikuto Kita from Bocchi the Rock! dancing in the same way as the Ruby dancing meme. The earliest known example of the meme was posted to TikTok in April 2024.
