Maybe it's because I'm slipping into a migraine, but I'm going to need that one explained to me.
Danielle Fishel, the actress who played the character Topanga Lawrence on the show Boy Meets World, is married to a comedian named Jensen Karp, who tweeted that he found shrimp tails in his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
After his tweet went viral, writer Melissa Stetten alleged that he was an abuser and stated that other women had reached out to share their own allegations against Karp with her.
Karp being a "milkshake duck" refers to a June 2016 tweet from Aussie cartoonist Ben Ward which read
It gave a name to the phenomenon of seemingly harmless individuals' sordid pasts being called out after a brief brush with fame.
On March 24, 2021, Twitter user @BudrykZack tweeted "Shrimp Cereal Topanga Husband is a MeToo milkshake duck". The accompanying image is taken from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called Darmok and is of the character named Darmok who is a member of the Tamarian species which speaks only in metaphors.
"MeToo" refers to the worldwide Me Too movement, that began in 2017, through which survivors of sexual assault and victims of sexual harrassment - mostly women - have come forward to admit to announce their victim hood in order to bring to light how common such assaults are and to demand an end to rape culture.
Good lord well done ๐
