The_Garfield Gamer • 6mo ago Stupid cat (Morgana reference) I'm so sick of all these people that think they're mommies. No, you're not. Most of you are not even close to being mommies. I see these people saying "I put well over 18 years in this body, it's great!" that's nothing, most of us can easily put 30+ years in our bodies. I see people who only are in high school and claim to be mommies. Come talk to me when you work a 9-5 then we be friends. Also DEAR ALL PERSONA FANS: Haru is not a real mommy. Makoto is not a real mommy. Hifumi is not a real mommy. Ai is not a real mommy. Chie is not a real mommy. MITSURU IS NOT. A REAL. MOMMY. put down the baby high schoolers and thirst over something that has actually graduated for once. Sincerely, all of the ACTUAL mommies.

Origin

On March 19th, 2019, Redditor Username6273 posted a rant about gamers who invest less than 300 hours in their games and who enjoy more casual video games such as Stardew Valley and the Super Mario series (shown below). The post was downvoted in the /r/rant^[1] subreddit but received over 50 comments in five years.

The copypasta also inspired various parody versions in 2024. For example, on February 3rd, 2024, Redditor greasy_weggins shared a version that replaced "gamer" with "weeb" in the /r/copypasta^[8] subreddit (shown below).

You Cheated Not Only the Game, But Yourself

You Cheated Not Only the Game, But Yourself refers to a viral tweet made by Twitter user @Fetusberry in which he criticized PC Gamer journalist James Davenport for resorting to cheats to beat the final boss in 2019 video game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Starting in April 2019, the tweet has been parodied and used as a copypasta, often in reference to well-known exploits used in video games and lifehacks.

You Didn't Beat the Game

You Didn't Beat the Game and You Didn't Beat the Boss refers to the argument that using a certain in-game mechanic, such as Summons or Bleed in Elden Ring, disqualifies the player from being considered to have beaten the game. The argument, which was used by hardcore Soulslike since 2018, inspired counter-arguments, memes, and parodies.
