I generally detest MemeGen memes, on the grounds that they aren't funny and reveal nothing of interest or value about the people who do them. However, even I could not resist finding out what Latin case I am:

What Latin Noun Case Are You? by TigerBotEdge

How many times a month do you post?
Your Latin Noun CaseYou are the Dative Case. Since you're mostly an indirect object, mainly people are either doing something TO you or doing something FOR you. Gosh. Don't know whether you should be offended or thrilled. Ah, well--I'll leave THAT ONE up to you.

Wouldn't somebody doing something TO you make you the object of the action and hence accusative? The way it's written implies that "doing something" is the verb-part, as opposed to "giving something to you" where the something is the object.

Basically, yes, although I suppose the person writing this was trying to use 'doing something' as a generic idea to cover a whole range of verbs in Latin which do take the dative as their direct and only object.
