AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'I Believe In Supremacy' meme template features a silhouette image of a man bowing down on his hands and knees to a woman standing dominantly above him with a commanding gesture. This imagery draws from an image macro format that initially circulated within BDSM communities. The meme template generally serves as a snowclone to humorously express exaggerated reverence or believe in someone or something’s superiority.

OriginWho did it first?

The roots of the 'I Believe In Supremacy' meme stretch back to between 2007 and early 2008, based on estimates. It first appeared as a striking visual of a man bowing to a woman, and was circulated on different websites, including kwick.de and Photobucket. The earliest archived derivative of this image was posted on February 6th, 2008, on kwick.de by an anonymous user with the caption 'Girls make the rules!' (link for image derived here). In 2015, a notable version stating 'I am a male who believes in female supremacy' became popular in BDSM spaces. The meme continued to spread when the Facebook group BDSM Lovers adopted it as their profile image on October 12th, 2015, marking one of its early popular uses online.^[1]
