Panel 1 shows a smiling stick figure with glasses addressing the Microsoft logo, asking 'Hey Microsoft hows it going?'.

Panel 4 shows the stick figure reacting with the exclamation 'JESUS CHRIST' while maintaining a horrified, frozen smile, conveying shock and disgust at Microsoft's actions.
Origin notes
This meme was posted to the Reddit r/Meme subreddit and circulated in 2024 amid widespread public backlash against Microsoft over a legal dispute involving the original creator of the popular Minecraft Skyblock game mode. The creator accrued over $300,000 in legal fees fighting infringement of his work, while Microsoft continued to profit from unauthorized Skyblock content sold to underage users on the official Minecraft marketplace. The meme uses a widely shared pre-existing 4-panel shocked stick figure reaction template that is commonly used on English-speaking social platforms to respond to shocking or morally objectionable news.
