Katy Perry's "Woman's World" Controversy refers to backlash over Katy Perry's song "Woman’s World," which was released in mid-June 2024. The music video, uploaded in mid-July 2024, became the topic of viral debate and controversy, being heavily criticized for seemingly catering to the male gaze in contrast to its "empowering" or feminist lyrics and message. The singer was also criticized by many for working with controversial producer Dr. Luke on her new song and upcoming sixth studio album, as he was accused by Kesha in 2014 of sexual and physical assault in a since-dismissed lawsuit.

Sketch OF Leaks or Sketch Gay OF Account refers to memes and discussions about Twitch streamer Sketch working as a gay adult model before starting his career as a Madden streamer. The leaks were first addressed in a YouTube video posted in early July 2024, with other internet users claiming to have found his Reddit account. Following the viral discourse online, Sketch responded to the rumors in a livestream and confirmed it was him.

Donald Trump Raised Fist Photograph, also known as Donald Trump Fist Pumping After Assassination Attempt, refers to a viral photo of United States presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump taken immediately after a failed assassination attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024. The exploitable image, in which a bloodied Trump is seen raising his fist as he is rushed off the stage by members of his Secret Service, achieved virality and inspired numerous memes, edits and redraws in the following days.

We Resolve Our Differences at the Battle Box is a quote spoken by U.S. President Joe Biden while addressing the Donald Trump rally shooting and assassination attempt in which he misspoke and said what sounded like, "In America, we resolve our differences at the battle box," instead of "ballot box." Biden made the address on Sunday, July 14th, 2024, and it inspired reactions that night, including memes, largely on X / Twitter, about settling your differences in "the battle box."
