Parodies based on a fetish artwork of a reverse [[bimbofication]] sequence by [[sortimid]], in which a [[gyaru]]-esque bimbo character picks up a book and becomes a plain-looking student. The image went viral after being reposted to Twitter, largely due to the reposter and viewers misreading it as social commentary and not realizing that it was simply niche fetish art.

The meme saw a resurgence in popularity several years later, as artists began to depict the before and after versions of the girl in the sequence as a [[yuri]] couple. The original artist themself also "supported the trend":https://twitter.com/Sortimid/status/1137376029536849920 as part of [[LGBT pride]] month.
