Trash Dove was created by artist Syd Weiler, who submitted her drawings to Apple for consideration in the iOS 10 sticker store back in September. It became a hit on the app store and was syndicated by Facebook, where its popularity exploded.

Thailand was the first country to start using the set of bird memes. Its popularity in the country may derive from the Thai word for bird, nok, which also means someone hopelessly single or suffering from unrequited love.

The internet sensation took on a whole new meaning when it landed in the U.S. last weekend.

Like any viral image, Trash Dove is the subject of countless memes and videos, but it’s in the comment section where the headbanging purple bird loses its playfulness.

The sticker and its memes are being used on Facebook to spam comment sections to detract from their subject matter. The Verge points out that a single New York Times post was Trash Doved 92 times.

That has led to numerous requests to ban the meme altogether and free up the internet as a place for public discourse again.
