MEME REFERENCE

Children scared of rabbit

Use when a harmless object is mistakenly perceived as a threat by a group of people.

What it expresses: A non-threatening stimulus triggers collective fear due to misinterpretation.

When not to use it: Avoid when the perceived threat is objectively real and not a misinterpretation.
