The 'Misinput' meme originates from a viral gameplay clip of YouTuber and streamer MoistCr1TiKaL (Charlie White) playing Rainbow Six Siege. During a tense match, Charlie accidentally shoots a teammate and immediately erupts into a panicked, high-energy defense, repeatedly yelling 'It was a misinput!' while telling his teammates to 'calm down.' The clip exploded in popularity due to Charlie's signature deadpan-turned-explosive delivery. It is now widely used to humorously justify obvious mistakes, intentional trolling disguised as an accident, or any situation involving a chaotic overreaction to a simple error.
