The xQcDespair meme, also known as Serious xQc, originates from a still frame of the high-energy Twitch streamer Félix 'xQc' Lengyel during one of his broadcasts where his facial expression suddenly shifted to a vacant, soul-crushing stare. It gained massive popularity as a BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ emote, symbolizing feelings of hopelessness, existential dread, or the feeling of being completely 'done' with a situation. While xQc is typically known for his fast-paced and erratic commentary, this specific image captures a rare moment of silent, intense gravity, making it the perfect reaction for gaming losses, harsh life realizations, or simply witnessing something deeply disturbing on the internet.
