Revengeance Status is a subgenre of status memes that gained massive popularity in early 2022, primarily on platforms like Discord and YouTube. These memes typically feature a bait video or image—often suggestive anime or wholesome content—that is abruptly interrupted by high-octane action sequences from the video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The shift is usually accompanied by iconic tracks like Rules of Nature or It Has To Be This Way. It serves as a humorous way to subvert expectations and mock suggestive content, celebrating the over-the-top, hyper-masculine energy of the Metal Gear franchise's hack-and-slash spin-off.
