A social media meme is where one person says, “I like X,” and another replies, “So why do you hate Y?” Colee Bravo (@BravoCoolee), an account no longer on X/Twitter, stated the argument using pancakes and waffles, in two slightly different 2017 tweets.

It’s like those “I like pancakes” “so you hate waffles?” arguments. The absence of one, to them, means you don’t like it.

Only on Twitter, you can say “I like pancakes” and someone would say “so you hate waffles?”

this rings so true! and may i add, it just feels like most internet spaces have worsened it to the extreme. it’s like that meme that goes around “on twitter you could say ‘i like pancakes’ and the next person will reply ‘oh so you hate waffles’”
