The edits started going viral in mid-April 2026 as the drama surrounding Sykkuno's cheating spread online, inspiring reactions and memes.

Origin

On April 10th, 2026, Sykkuno was exposed for cheating on his girlfriend of five years with numerous VTubers, streamers and fans. Other women came forward over the following days, eventually resulting in Sykkuno and his girlfriend confirming that he was unfaithful, but announcing that they would stay together and work on their relationship.

On April 16th, 2026, TikToker @holybrootall posted a POV meme and video edit that begins with several images of Sykkuno "before the glow up," captioned, "POV: you didn't get attention from girls so the glow up turned you into a male manipulator." The video then transitions to post-glow-up clips of Sykkuno, along with clips of the women who exposed him for cheating and some DMs he was exposed for sending to them. The video garnered over 3.5 million views in six days.
