Kusanagi-Valentine-Katsuragi Scale

Text on the meme

The Kusanagi-Valentine-Katsuragi (KVK) scale measures how well you are handling life as a badass purple-haired single woman in a dystopian future. Really good - could do better - a fucking mess

What it means

Three purple-haired anime women are shown in a three-panel comparison: Motoko Kusanagi, a woman from Cowboy Bebop, and Misato Katsuragi drinking from a can. The joke presents them as a scale for how well a badass purple-haired single woman is coping with life, ranging from “Really good” to “a fucking mess.”
