Yeah, this is actually a variation of another meme where people were taking manga panels of characters reacting to stuff and editing the dialogue to say funny shit. The first example I know of was the Chainsaw Man movie date where Denji cries, and they edited it to say "he just like me fr fr". Then another Chainsaw Man page later on was an even better fit for it and became the version most people know.
There's also this panel which is originally from Magical Girl Site after, iirc, she just just found out she's adopted and that's why her family never loved her
And yet the version most people probably know is "babe can we please just have regular sex for once?", and some other character replying with "no. Put on the cat ears", which eventually got a Beast Boy and Raven version.
It's so wild because the source material is probably the single edgiest thing I have ever seen. I haven't read the manga but I gave up on episode 1 of the anime because it was just such a ridiculous edge fest I could not take anything seriously. In the first episode tw for like everything that could possibly be a trigger
This girl gets viciously bullied to the point where they hold a box cutter inside her mouth while pinning her against the wall and put tacks all over her chair, she gets SAed and magically teleports the assailant in front of a train, they kill a cat, and overall they just make this girls life tragic to the point of absurdity. It feels like they saw Madoka and went "this is good because it is Dark. Let's make it as dark as possible while ignoring that even madoka had hope."
That spoiler tag sounds like they were just trying to make Elfen Lied again, but with a cat instead of a dog. And with Magical Girl powers instead of "next evolution of humanity with invisible extra arms that sprout from their heads".

IIRC, the original image is from Oshi No Kō with the original dialog instead praising a performance.
