About
Stop Das Gay, alternatively Do I Smell Watermelon, refers to an image macro series typically involving two characters, with one pressing their face up against the other and making unpleasant remarks, and the other responding with “stop das gay”.
Origin
The earliest known popular example of the meme was posted by Tumblr user tomatoneedles on June 5th, 2011,[1] gaining over 14,000 notes as of March 2015. It features a captioned image cropped from a painting depicting the kiss of Judas,[2] the scene in the Bible in which Judas Iscariot betrays the identity of Jesus to the Romans by kissing him.
