Baby Yoda “whore magic” memes typically suggest that a girl or woman is granted certain privileges because of her appearance and sex appeal. They feature a screenshot of an angry-looking Baby Yoda (The Child) from The Mandaloriancaptioned with the phrase “whore magic.” To clarify, that is not an actual line from the Disney+ series.

Baby yoda relevant again?? from memes

These image macro memes started spreading on Reddit in October 2020 where they are particularly popular on the Dank Memes subreddit. By using the word “whore,” sexualizing women, and implying that they only succeed in life when men find them attractive, many of these Baby Yoda memes have sexist overtones. The phrase “whore magic” could also be read as a celebration of women owning their sexuality for financial and social gain, but most of these memes appear to suggest that such magic is a bad thing.
