AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The meme 'I Am Going To Create An Environment That Is So Toxic' features a quote by the character Sue Sylvester from the TV show Glee. The template typically shows Sue Sylvester captioned with the quote from the show, captured in a screen from an episode. Though originally just a televisual moment, the image now often appears with altered captions or blacked-out text to adapt to different humorous or satirical contexts.

OriginWho did it first?

This meme's origin traces back to 'Throwdown,' the seventh episode of Glee's first season, which first aired on October 14, 2009. The full episode can be viewed here on YouTube. The specific line became notable when Facebook user Sapphire Gray shared a subtitled still from the scene on January 20, 2020. Following this, it gained further popularity on social media platforms such as Twitter (now X). For instance, an anti-meme version was posted by user @elmotumbokon on June 27, 2020.^[1]
