I LOVE YOU CHARLOTTE FANG

Community slogan from the Milady Maker ecosystem during the Milady Cancel controversy


I LOVE YOU CHARLOTTE FANG is a rallying cry and community slogan that emerged from the Milady Maker ecosystem during the Milady Cancel controversy of May 2022. First posted by Liz777 alongside a Milady avatar edited with an FBI Hat, the phrase became a significant solidarity statement within the community and established a visual motif that continues to resonate in Remilia's cultural production.[1]

Origins

Liz777's initial post

The "I LOVE YOU CHARLOTTE FANG" slogan originated with Liz777, a prominent community figure in the Milady Maker ecosystem. During Charlotte Fang's temporary break from Twitter following the May 2022 cancel attempt, Liz777 was reportedly contacted by Fang, who indicated plans to return within three days.[2]

In preparation for Fang's return, Liz777 created what would become a defining visual and textual motif for the period: a Milady avatar edited to wear Fang's iconic FBI hat, accompanied by the simple but impactful message "I LOVE YOU CHARLOTTE FANG" in all capital letters.[3]

Community adoption

Following Liz777's post, the slogan and accompanying FBI hat visual spread rapidly through the Milady community. Hundreds of Milady holders edited their own avatars to include the FBI hat and posted the same "I LOVE YOU CHARLOTTE FANG" message as a show of solidarity with Fang during the controversy.[4]

This collective action transformed what began as a single supportive post into a community-wide demonstration of loyalty and resilience in the face of external criticism. The uniformity of both the visual symbol (FBI hat) and textual slogan created a striking visual effect across social media platforms, particularly Twitter.

Cultural significance

The "I LOVE YOU CHARLOTTE FANG" slogan functioned as an explicit declaration of community solidarity during a period when the Remilia ecosystem faced significant external pressure. By adopting both the slogan and visual motif, community members signaled not just support for Fang personally, but rejection of the cancel attempt and the broader social dynamics it represented.[5]

The slogan's pairing with the FBI hat created a recognizable visual shorthand that had lasting impact on Remilia's visual language. When Fang eventually returned to Twitter, he did so with a blood-spattered profile picture that acknowledged both the attack and his survival, establishing the "Bloody PFP" motif, which would later be adopted in times of .[6]
