Where does the “This Is What I Was Wearing (Tell Me I Asked For It)” meme come from?
The visual source comes from the first SlutWalk march in New York City, held on October 1, 2011, at Union Square. This event protested victim-blaming and sexual assault. A specific banner, photographed by Francesa June, showed a man wearing ordinary clothes with text stating he was raped while dressed that way. The photo was posted on the official SlutWalk NYC Tumblr on October 3, 2011. The identity of the protester remains unknown. The image spread online as an image macro to amplify the anti-victim-blaming message, though its exact emergence as a widespread meme in 2012 lacks precise documentation.
