xQc, whose real name is Félix Lengyel, is a former professional Overwatch player turned variety streamer who became one of the most recognized faces on Twitch and Kick. His memes often stem from his intense, high-energy reactions, unique vocabulary, and frequent moments of 'despair' while reacting to content or losing in games. The most popular templates feature his dramatic facial expressions, particularly the black-and-white 'xQc Despair' edit used to convey extreme disappointment or a sudden realization of failure. These memes are widely used across social media to poke fun at gaming culture, bad takes, or relatable moments of existential dread.
