    What is behind the picture? The picture shows Tyler1 next to Mel Capperino-Garcia. She is lead influencer manager at Riot Games.

    Tyler1 often jokes about his height by exaggeratingly claiming to be over 1.90 m tall – for example in a short clip on YouTube.

    What does Mel Capperino-Garcia say about the picture? She answered some questions about the meme, including writing the following on X:

    I love the memes that have come out of this because some are very funny. It’s also weird being all over the internet and seeing comments about me without knowing who I am.
