The 'One Copy of Doom Eternal / Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Please' meme emerged in early 2020 when fans noticed both games shared the same release date despite their polar opposite tones. The meme typically depicts the hyper-masculine Doom Slayer asking for the peaceful Animal Crossing, while the cute dog Isabelle or a similar character requests the ultra-violent Doom Eternal. This trend evolved into a wholesome celebration of the 'Barbenheimer' style phenomenon, symbolizing a community that enjoys both high-octane action and relaxing simulation. It is widely used to illustrate the duality of a person’s interests or to create humorous contrasts between two clashing subcultures.
