Me reporting anyone better than me as a cheater and getting them banned

This is a two-part collage meme. The top section displays a standard online video game anti-cheat notification, with red header text reading 'CHEATER BANNED', followed by text explaining that a player the user reported for cheating has been reviewed and banned, thanking the user for protecting the game, with an 'OK' button below. The bottom section features a screenshot of the character Homelander from the TV series *The Boys* with a smug, self-satisfied expression, overlaid with text that reads ':Me reporting anyone whose better than me'. The joke is a relatable, sarcastic take on petty behavior in competitive online gaming, where players falsely report more skilled opponents as cheaters out of frustration, and feel pleased when those players are wrongfully banned.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of the Reddit:Meme subreddit, originally posted with the title 'Happened multiple times'. It combines two commonly used internet meme elements: the generic 'cheater banned' gaming notification, and the popular smug Homelander reaction image from The Boys TV series, to create a relatable joke about petty competitive gaming behavior that is widely shared across social media platforms.

This is a multi-panel meme using the popular progressive Vince McMahon reaction template. It builds up the following scenario: a user posts a controversial statement online, faces backlash from other users, then receives overwhelming support from their own supporters, gains 500 upvotes in an hour with most users agreeing with their take, and even earns a platform award for the post. Vince McMahon's expressions get increasingly more excited as the scenario builds up, but the punchline comes an hour later: the post is removed by platform censorship, and Vince's expression drops to a deadpan disappointed look. The meme jokes about the common frustrating experience of having a popular, user-supported controversial post taken down by platform content moderation, ruining the excitement of viral success.

This two-panel meme satirizes the perceived double standard in Reddit's content moderation for the r/teenagers community. **Top Panel**: Features a screenshot of Barack Obama with a confused, shrugging hand gesture, paired with text: *"ME GETTING BANNED FROM R/TEENAGERS BECAUSE I ALSO COMMENTED IN A NSFW SUB"*. This frames the user's frustration at being penalized for interacting with Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content on the platform. **Bottom Panel**: Uses a still from the 1996 film *Jerry Maguire* (young character Ray Boyd typing at a computer) with text: *"TEENAGERS EASILY ACCESSING HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY ON REDDIT"*. The core joke is the ironic hypocrisy: Reddit enforces strict rules to ban users who engage with NSFW content from a teen-focused subreddit, but fails to prevent underage users from accessing explicit adult content on the site. It critiques inconsistent content moderation policies targeting adult users while leaving young users exposed to inappropriate material.
