The meme depicts an unhealthy approach to interacting with others, where in this case, Future doesn’t care about the well-being of the person he wants to be in a romantic relationship with.
This conflict-driven mentality has taken off over the past few years with “toxic relationship” memes. A little toxicity to “spice things up” can be seen as a light-hearted comment, but it’s implying conflict is needed for something to be entertaining and time-worthy. This applies not just to romantic relationships but to anyone we disagree with. We don’t need to wish ill on someone that doesn’t feel the same way we do or encourage each other to uphold these behaviors.

The new meme is a more empathetic Future, he knows this person and himself aren’t a good match, but still hopes they find what they’re looking for. This new Future understands that he can leave a disagreement while still respecting the other person.
Finding conflict entertaining is definitely something that thrives on platforms like Twitter. Instead of engaging with negative content similar to this, we should try to promote healthier attitudes to become less polarized and accept that you can agree to disagree with someone and leave it at that. This meme might go viral because with people promoting so much toxicity, there have been people sharing their healthier take and receiving a good response.
