Correct Gaming Posture / Incorrect Gaming Posture

About

Correct Gaming Posture / Incorrect Gaming Posture is a redraw trend illustrating the difference between "correct" and "incorrect" gaming posture. In the meme template, an "incorrect" gaming posture is a man hunched over his desk, while the "correct" posture shows the character sitting up straight and dressed as a woman. In November 2023, the format spread on Twitter / X as users recreated the original by replacing the two people with various characters from pop culture.
