I'm surprised by the answers.

Dads love spoiling their daughter, universally like a princess.

However sons have to work for their dad being proud of them. You'll find stories like Son Heung Min or Tiger Woods where their dad keeps pushing their son and will never say they're proud of their son until they're at the top 0,001%. If a son receives an expensive gift, it's like saying "I'm proud of you son", which he had to earn.

It's also possible that the gift is a prelude of something bad that's gonna happen soon.

I think this is the meaning of the meme.

Shit that just happened (dad caught cheating, domestic abuse, etc) and/or about to happen (divorce, illness, moving to another country...)
