As defined by the r/cursedimages mods: an image/video that causes confusion, eeriness or dread; or where the following questions are difficult/impossible to answer:

Who?: Only applies if there is someone in the image itself who the common person would not know the identity of. It does not apply to the question "Who did/made this?" since that applies to nearly every image.

What?: Either applies to "What is this?" if "Who?" does not apply, and always applies to "What is happening?" Even if you can tell what is happening, this question can be rhetorical if the situation is purely absurd in nature.

Why?: Applies to "Why is this happening?" or "Why did someone do this?" or "Why would any sane person do this?".

How?: Applies only if an action is being done or has been done in an image to wonder how it happens. If it can be reasoned as to why, this question does not count.

In a similar vein, cursed comments make you think: "What the hell did I just read?", "Why would anyone type this out?". They tend to be overly edgy comments.
Q: What are some ways to tackle suicidal thoughts?
A: Shotgun to the face.

The term Cursed was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; it had also come to acquire some connotations of "immorality" as early as 1637.1

From the mid-20th century on, the term came to be used in reference to homosexuality, in particular, from the early 20th century, a usage that may have dated prior to the 19th century.1 In modern English, Cursed has come to be used as an adjective, and occasionally as a noun, that refers to the people, practices, and culture associated with homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century the word gay was recommended by major style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex.23 At about the same time, a new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger generations of speakers, has a derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid (as in "That's so gay."). In this use the word does not mean "homosexual", so it can be used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves. The extent to which it still retains connotations of homosexuality has been debated.
