Gamer Pride Month is a satirical internet holiday usually observed in July, immediately following LGBTQ+ Pride Month in June. The meme originated as a tongue-in-cheek reaction to corporate branding and social movements, often featuring the ironic phrase 'Gamers are the most oppressed group in society.' While sometimes used controversially, it is primarily a piece of meta-humor within the gaming community that parodies gamer culture tropes, mountain dew memes, and RGB-heavy aesthetics. It has since evolved into a versatile template for highlighting the absurdity of gaming-related struggles, such as high ping, microtransactions, or a severe lack of sleep.
