ESRB Rating Parodies involve modifying the iconic Entertainment Software Rating Board icons used on North American video game packaging to satirize real-world situations. These memes typically replace the standard 'E for Everyone,' 'T for Teen,' or 'M for Mature' designations with humorous alternatives like 'L for Loser' or 'S for Stress.' The descriptive text box, which usually lists content warnings like 'Blood and Gore,' is swapped for specific, often relatable, grievances or jokes. This format gained massive popularity in gaming communities and on social media as a versatile way to frame any person, event, or hobby as a 'rated' experience that consumers should be warned about.
