Did I get the right game?

This two-panel black and white comparison meme jokes about a common trope in video game audio design. The top panel features a panel of Guts from the manga Berserk screaming in extreme, guttural agony, with text that reads 'What Male death/pain sounds in video games sound like'. The bottom panel shows an anime female character making an ahegao (exaggerated sexually aroused) face, paired with text that reads 'Female pain/death noises for some reason'. The core joke highlights the widespread criticism that female character pain and death sound effects in many video games are frequently inappropriately sexualized, sounding like erotic moans instead of genuine distress, which can lead to players being confused if they think they purchased an adult game instead of a standard video game, referencing the original title question.

This meme originates from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, distributed via RSS feed with the original poster title 'Did I get the right game?'. It was created using a panel from Kentaro Miura's Berserk manga and a generic ahegao anime illustration, edited together on the Imgflip platform (as indicated by the Imgflip watermark in the bottom left corner) to satirize the aforementioned video game audio trope, and has circulated widely on social media and meme sharing platforms.
