Poor LARPers

This is a two-panel meme using the classic 'This Is Fine' cartoon dog template. The text above the panels reads 'Actual LARPers (Live Actimon Role Play-ers, with a deliberate typo writing Action as Actimon) seeing their hobby get turned into an insult'. The first panel shows the orange cartoon dog wearing a small hat sitting calmly on a chair at a table with a coffee mug, while the entire room around him is engulfed in flames and filled with smoke. The second panel is a close-up of the dog, who has an awkward forced smile on his face, with the text 'THIS IS FINE' at the bottom. The meme jokes about how people who actually practice LARPing as a hobby are pretending to be unbothered as the term 'LARPer' is increasingly used online as an insult to refer to people who fake their identity or beliefs for clout.

Origin notes

This meme is sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit via RSS feed. It is a derivative work that repurposes the widely popular 'This Is Fine' meme template, which was originally created by artist KC Green for his webcomic series Gunshow in 2013. The template is commonly used to express forced calm in response to worsening or frustrating situations.

A meme featuring a screenshot of a real human actor wearing a blue, textured outfit with gold accents (likely from a TV show or movie). The left side of the image has the text 'Me' overlaid, pointing to the actor, who has a neutral to slightly amused expression. The right side contains the text: 'Those mfs who genuinely get so upset over morally wrong characters that they have to physically go after the actors.' The meme critiques the phenomenon of fans harassing actors for portraying villainous or morally questionable characters, using the actor's calm demeanor to contrast with the described outrage.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using a scene from the 1974 anime *Heidi, Girl of the Alps*. In the first panel, the character Heidi, wearing a pink dress, stands behind the character Clara who sits in a wheelchair. Heidi's speech bubble reads '*already ragebaited*', while Clara's speech bubble says condescendingly: 'you're so emotional lol, calm down-'. In the second panel, Heidi has pushed Clara off the edge of a rocky cliff, and Clara is seen falling down the cliffside while Heidi holds the now-empty wheelchair. The joke highlights how deliberately provoking someone to anger (ragebaiting them) then dismissing their anger by telling them to calm down is an extremely inflammatory action that leads to extreme, often disproportionate reactions.

The image features two men in a live-action scene engaged in a conversation. The left man has an overlay text: 'The character that betrays me later in the game,' while the right man has: 'Me on my second playthrough and realizing most of his lines were hints.' The background includes a painting with a cross, suggesting a dramatic setting. The meme humorously captures the common gaming experience of replaying a game and noticing previously missed foreshadowing from a character who later betrays the player.

This four-panel meme utilizes the iconic Krusty Krab order scene from the animated series *SpongeBob SquarePants* to satirize the oversaturation of DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling, a NVIDIA gaming graphics technology) memes online. 1. **Panel 1**: A blue generic fish customer approaches Squidward at the Krusty Krab counter, saying "I'll have a..." with an expectant expression. 2. **Panel 2**: Bold text "DLSS MEME" appears, framing the customer's "order" as yet another meme about the gaming technology. 3. **Panel 3**: The fish smirks and adds, "AND THAT'S IT, JUST ANOTHER SHITTY DLSS MEME", mocking the lack of creativity in repetitive DLSS-focused memes. 4. **Panel 4**: Squidward, looking exasperated and annoyed, deadpans "How original", voicing the frustration of internet users who have seen this type of meme far too often. The meme uses sarcasm and meta-humor to critique the overuse of DLSS as a lazy meme topic in gaming communities.

The meme features real actor Michael Cera standing against a plain bright red background, wearing a dark blue long-sleeve sweater, with his iconic deadpan, slightly awkward neutral expression. White text with a black outline is overlaid on the lower half of the image, reading "me after accidentally dropping a soul-wrenching, jaw-dropping, major piece of lore i’d previously been hiding under copious amounts of wit & sarcasm". The relatable joke describes the awkward, unreadable feeling after you accidentally share very personal, deep, or previously hidden information that you had been masking behind jokes and sarcasm, perfectly paired with Cera's neutral awkward demeanor.

A three-panel meme featuring Winnie the Pooh with distinct expressions paired with text to critique different approaches to game evaluation. The first panel shows Pooh in a tuxedo, looking sophisticated, with text: 'Those who judge a game based on the gameplay/story:'. The second panel has Pooh in his classic red shirt with a neutral expression, text: 'Those who judge a game based on the community and developer relation:'. The third panel depicts Pooh with a wide, almost exaggerated grin, text: 'Those who judge a game based on the artstyle:'. The meme uses visual contrast in Pooh's expressions to imply that judging by art style is less valid, aligning with the original theme of frustration over dismissing 2D games.

This is a relatable gaming meme poking fun at a common trope in Japanese Role-Playing Games (JRPGs). The top text sets up the joke, stating 'JRPG animations before you deal 15 damage to a target:', followed by a blurry shot of an extremely elaborate, cinematic attack animation of a fantastical multi-appendaged entity. The joke highlights the absurd mismatch common in JRPGs where even very low-damage basic attacks are paired with overly dramatic, lengthy, high-production animations that are completely out of proportion to the small amount of damage they actually inflict on enemies.

A meme image featuring an animated alien-like character with a pale, wrinkled face and large, dark eyes. The character is seated on a brown couch in a dimly lit room with blue-toned lighting, holding a game controller with both hands. Bold white text at the top reads: 'Me picking the worst possible dialogue choice and absolutely destroying a game character's feelings.' The bottom left corner displays the 'imgflip.com' watermark. The character's neutral expression contrasts humorously with the relatable scenario of making poor in-game dialogue decisions that harm virtual characters' emotions.

A two-panel meme featuring Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants. The top panel shows Squidward calmly setting up a beach chair with the text 'HAVING A CASUAL ARGUE WITH A REDDITOR,' depicting the expectation of a brief online debate. The bottom panel shows Squidward looking shocked and holding the chair, with the text 'GUY POSTS YOU A 14 PAGES LONG REPLY,' humorously highlighting the contrast between expecting a casual argument and receiving an excessively lengthy response, a common stereotype about Reddit users in online discussions.

This four-panel meme uses the popular 'gradually applying clown makeup' template to humorously and relatably depict a common experience for Reddit users: 1. **Panel 1**: A neutral real person, paired with text: *'Goes to a subreddit that helps people'* 2. **Panel 2**: The person begins applying clown eye makeup, with text: *'Asks for help on said subject'* 3. **Panel 3**: The person puts on a rainbow clown wig, with text: *'Gets downvoted and insulted'* 4. **Panel 4**: The person is fully transformed into a clown (with full face paint, wig, and red nose), paired with text: *'Stays on reddit anyways'* The joke frames the user as a 'clown' for continuing to use Reddit despite facing negative feedback when seeking support, highlighting the frustrating yet addictive nature of the platform for many users.

This is a single-panel comedic cartoon meme that uses a popular resource inequality template. A pipe labeled 'Fishnets' pours almost all of its flow directly into the open mouth of a large, plump, wealthy-looking cartoon man sitting in an armchair, who is labeled 'Greedy femboys'. Only a small number of drops fall from the pipe to a tiny, emaciated, starving cartoon figure on the ground labeled 'Fishermen trying to make a living', who is desperately reaching up for the drops. The core joke relies on a pun for the word 'fishnets': it refers both to the actual woven nets that fishermen use to catch fish for their livelihood, and to fishnet stockings that are a popular clothing item associated with femboys in internet culture. The meme humorously exaggerates the idea that femboys are hoarding all available fishnets, leaving almost none for the fishermen who need them to survive.

This is a two-panel meme using the popular soyjak vs Nordic Chad template. The left panel features an angry, crying soyjak character with glasses, red bloodshot eyes, and tears streaming down his face, yelling the text above him: 'You can't finish the game with 97 unused potions!'. The right panel features a calm, stoic blonde bearded Chad character responding with the text above him: 'I might need them later'. The joke references the extremely relatable common gamer behavior of hoarding healing consumables like potions throughout an entire playthrough, refusing to use them even when needed, out of irrational fear that they will be required for a harder final boss later, often ending the game with dozens of unused items.
