    The original meme has the person’s name as “katy”, and Boxxy’s real name is Catie, so whoever wrote the original might well have been parodying her.

    Edit: After a bit more research, there’s the tiniest sliver of a chance it might have been based on her pre-Boxxy online activity, because it pre-dates her use of the name, but it’s probably nothing to do with her.

        So I checked a bit more and pre-Boxxy Catie and the copypasta both appeared online in 2006, so it’s probably not a parody of her specifically, just girls like the Boxxy character Catie created. Funny coincidence about the name though.
