The 'Minecraft Good, Fortnite Bad' meme represents a significant cultural shift in internet history, specifically within the Reddit and gaming communities during the late 2010s. It originally began as a genuine expression of nostalgia for Minecraft's creative gameplay contrasted against the perceived toxicity and mainstream dominance of Fortnite. However, it quickly evolved into a self-aware parody of 'circlejerk' culture, often associated with subreddits like r/dankmemes and r/PewdiepieSubmissions. The meme typically highlights the elitism of older gamers or the 'wholesome' obsession with Minecraft, serving as a satirical commentary on how the internet decides which games are culturally acceptable and which are deemed cringe.
