Remember when, as a kid, you were watching a movie and your mom quickly covered your eyes during any unexpected sex scenes? Well, meet “Censorship Mom,” here to protect us all from inappropriate content and give us the best meme of 2014.

On Sunday, Redditor user Dantesinfernape posted a photo of his mother covering the television screen with a towel. The caption read, “There were boobs on-screen, so my mother took action. I am a 22 year old gay man.” In the comments section of the post, Dantesinfernape explained that he had been watching the film “The Master” when a nude scene popped up and his mom took action, quickly grabbing a nearby towel.

The hilarious photo took off on Reddit, racking up nearly three million views, and users scrambled to meme the overprotective mother, dubbing her “Censorship mom.” Here are her best moments.
