Protesting on Reddit Be Like

This is a 4-panel sarcastic meme using the popular NPC Wojak character format. In the first panel, a grey NPC character declares that Sony should reverse its decision to stop manufacturing physical game discs, stating 'no disc no buy' to protest the move to fully digital games. In the second panel, a simply drawn white character asks the NPC if they are also planning to skip the upcoming highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, which is widely expected to have limited or no physical disc releases. The third panel shows the NPC with a blank, stunned expression, caught off guard by the question. The fourth panel shows the NPC looking angry, as the question exposes the hypocrisy of their performative protest, which they would abandon to play a game they are excited for.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, posted under the title 'protesting on reddit be like'. It was created during widespread online discussion in 2024 surrounding Sony's announcement that they would cease production of physical discs for PlayStation consoles, alongside growing hype for the upcoming release of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6. It uses a widely circulated 4-panel NPC Wojak reaction meme template to mock the performative nature of many online gamer protests that fall apart when applied to highly desired products.
