The Pokimane Discord Ban Speedrun became a viral internet subculture around 2020, following heightened tensions between the streamer and various commentary channels. Participants would record themselves joining the official Discord server and posting prohibited keywords or controversial images to see how many seconds it took for moderators to issue a ban. This satirical take on video game speedrunning culture introduced categories like 'Any%' and featured timers overlayed on screen capture software. The meme highlights the friction between high-profile influencers and internet trolls, often used to mock overzealous moderation or to celebrate the absurdity of being banned instantly for minor infractions.
