Steam employees getting my account back from the Russian hacker (repeated across all animation segments)
Overview
This is an animated gaming meme that uses a fight sequence from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen to joke about recovering a stolen Steam account. Every segment of the animation displays the text 'Steam employees getting my account back from the Russian hacker'. The sequence shows the two heroes Yuji Itadori and Kento Nanami working together to progressively beat down the villain Mahito, who represents the Russian hacker that stole the user's Steam account. The joke plays on the common stereotype of Russian hackers stealing Steam accounts, and celebrates effective Steam customer support that successfully recovers stolen accounts, framing the support team as overpowering the hacker.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit, with the original Reddit post titled 'Thank you Steam'. It is a user-created gaming meme that repurposes official fight footage from the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen, and circulates primarily among gaming and meme communities on Reddit.
