Fetusberry clearly feels very strongly about the issue of cheating in video games. Unfortunately for him, there is nothing that the internet at large finds funnier than people’s unvarnished, passionately held opinions expressed in a hyperbolic way. To wit, internet jokesters have started copying and pasting the text of Fetusberry’s tweet into videos of using minor cheats in games and modifying the text for other social situations.

While all this is funny, and allows for some levity during a debate where people on either side have dug in their heels hard, you have to wonder what it must be like for the person who kicked it all off, now getting resoundly dunked on across the web. Fetusberry has since said that they find the jokes hilarious, tweeting, “I feel like there’s no point in getting upset about it, ‘cause what am I gonna do to change anything?” Kotaku reached out for comment, but didn’t get a response in time for publication.

UPDATE - 4/11, 11:21am: Fetusberry got back to Kotaku last night to give his thoughts on this whole affair.

“[Davenport] was talking about cheating to beat the boss and then saying ‘and I feel fine’ bothered me; saying ‘I feel fine’ is basically saying, ‘I did this wrong, and I know I did, but I don’t care. And you shouldn’t either.’ Yuck,” Fetusberry continued. While he said that he hasn’t played Sekiro, his friends said that while it is hard, it’s rewarding, and he believes that overcoming obstacles in games by applying yourself and being patient is a good avenue for self improvement.

Regarding how popular he meme about his tweet has become, he’s says that mostly he’s impressed by the creativity of what people are making out of it.

“Here we are, five days later, 22k likes, lots of people still doing their best to assure themselves that I’m angry and that I’m hating the attention, but no. I’m still having a good time,” Fetusberry said. “I’m actually laughing about a lot of these memes and more than anything I’m amazed it has gone as far as it has. I had no idea what I was doing at the time; I was just tweeting and now we’re here. I think it’s really cool that this meme gets to become part of the internet tapestry, so to speak, and I kinda hope it doesn’t stop (though I know there’s gotta be an ending sometime).”
