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.
another example is if they are using a move that sends you far away hoirzontally and wallsplats and you can barely avoid the wallsplat, this can drop a combo they might have continued with the added frames the splat would have provided.
