What?
In Toy Story the child, Andy, wrote his name on the bottom of the toy’s shoe signifying that was his toy. The toy, Woody, took that as a point of pride, but in the second movie he ::: gets taken from a garage sale by a toy collector and goes to a restoration specialist who among other things paints over the child’s name. ::: Woody accepts this name removal as final proof that he is no longer loved by Andy and no longer belongs to him and is ready to move on to the next phase of his existence. Since the microblogger is also named Andy, her ex used this image to show the finality of their breakup, and it’s probably somewhat devastating depending on the age of the people involved when Toy Story 2 came out.
This is deep. I never watched the movies myself back in the day. A few years ago I found out what they were about, and I decided it's for the best since I have issues with abandonment.
There have been a number of Pixar movies that have been deeper than any kids’ movie would be expected to be. I didn’t feel like the first was as good as the second, perhaps because it was kind of an experiment to do a 3D animated feature film so they wanted to keep things a bit simpler. The result is one of those rare occasions where the sequel was better than the original.
But yes, if you have abandonment issues it could be a rough movie. Or maybe a little healing. Woody wasn’t supposed to be at the yard sale to begin with and was actually stolen. In the end Woody is rescued and reunited with Andy and brings along Jessie, who was lost by her human. She finds a new home with Andy and his other toys.
Apparently there's a superstition stating you can write the name of the person you fell in love with on your shoe, and if it doesn't wear off it's reciprocated.
This sign might be like "okay, so the writing should go off since you don't love me, Andy, and I'll do it myself since the fate didn't already".
Kinda like "the love is dead", and burning bridges.
TIL, and you might have too.
Or the more brutal angle: removing the name because he no longer cares if the love is reciprocated.
I think he's pulling our legs, pretending like there's someone who hasn't seen Toy Story.
I have not, but i know enough context from memes.

Toy story 2 is 25 yrs old.
You take that back
Go fuck yourself The '90s will forever be 10 years ago.
Uh, the '80s are 10 years ago? And things remain great here in the 90s! If we somehow manage to weather this Y2K crisis, I have a feeling it can only get better from here!
