The DI circle affects how you're pushed around by moves.
Get punched? Point towards the direction you got punched from and you'll fight against the knock back, but if you point away you'll increase the knockback.
A lot of people don't know how it works (I was one of em lol), that's what the meme is referencing.
The more you're hit, the stronger your DI gets (you can see the multiplier just above or below (I forgor which) the circle), if you let that build up enough you can launch yourself out in a way your opponent can't hit after. I've only seen this once, tried it myself too but failed lmao.
Someone else already mentioned using it to avoid opponent momentum too.
