Ace Watkins is a satirical character created by comedian Phil Jamesson, who launched a mock presidential campaign in 2019 under the persona of 'The World’s Only Gamer Candidate.' The character gained massive popularity on Twitter through a series of viral tweets that expertly blended political rhetoric with video game culture, often addressing gamers as an 'oppressed minority' and proposing absurd policies based on game mechanics. The meme serves as a parody of both modern identity politics and the intense, often insular culture of online gaming. It is typically used to mock political posturing or to highlight the absurdity of treating gaming as a serious political platform, usually featuring Watkins at a press podium delivering a deadpan address to his fellow 'gamers.'
