About

Yep.. It's Gamer Time is a series of four-panel exploitables ironically mocking the self aggrandizement of players some perceive in the video game community. The memes feature a "gamer" preparing to play a video game; however, the third panel generally includes something critical, insulting or satirical about the gamer community (similar to Gamer Joker).

Origin

On July 20th, 2018, Redditor ^[1] shemily55 posted a four-panel meme of a man preparing to play video games in the /r/GamersRiseUp subreddit. Each respective panel reads, respectively: "gamer headset: on," "knuckles: cracked," "girlfriend: none," and "yep.. its gamer time." The post (shown below) received more than 1,200 points (99% upvoted) and 20 comments in one month.

Two days later, Redditor^[3] AtomicCobra826 posted a variation of the format replacing the "girlfriend: none" panel with a screen capture from the film American History Xof a neo-Nazi (portrayed by Edward Norton) attacks an African American man, satirizing the criticism that the gamer community shares commonality with white nationalist and supremacy groups.
