Sadly, HTFU has become a cargo cult meme since people throw it around without any understandung of its original meaning

I don't even know the "fake" meaning. Inside memes are the least amusing.

Harden The Fu- Kitten Up is meant as a counter for baseless "i can't deal with the hardcounter to my tactic, therefore i assert it's OP" statements.

Around here it is often used as a sweeping denial of the bare possibility of something beeing actually OP in the likes of "You stating X is OP is always due to your inability to deal with it and therefore can be rejected as invalid without further consideration"

I am deliberately not mentioning any specific case as the decision where HTFU applies is often subjective. It's just the lack differentiation that i tend to see around here ever so often.

Some people actually think it means "Hush the F-kitten up!"

But that's what STFU is for. Why would you need two memes for basically the same expression?

Oh todays youth...

Edit: For example i disagree with one point of Cosgar's examples but the HTFU makes further discussion difficult since it implies that any input i could provide to make my point is flawed due to me beeing such a scrubby scrublet, putting an unnecessary burden of proof on me.
