Where does the “I call them bastards” meme come from?
The line comes from “Paquita Salas”, a series created by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrosi, with the title role played by Brays Efe. It surfaced around the promotion of season 3 in 2019, a period marked by backlash after a clip showing actress Lidia San José portraying a trans man, which triggered a wave of hateful comments. Paquita’s refusal to soften the word “haters” quickly spread as a defiant response to online attacks.
