The 'One Angry Gamer Traitors of America List' originated in June 2020 when the owner of the website One Angry Gamer published a massive, ever-growing list of companies, celebrities, and organizations that expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement, branding them all as 'traitors.' Because the list became so absurdly long and included almost every major entity in the gaming and tech world, it immediately backfired and became a target for intense internet mockery. Memers began using the template to create their own 'traitor' lists, filling them with nonsensical grievances, petty pet peeves, or fictional characters. The meme serves as a satirical critique of extreme gatekeeping and reactionary internet outrage culture.
