The protagonist, Private Jack Mitchell is attending the funeral of his best friend who died while fighting in South Korea. While this should have been a tense moment in the game, a prompt that is mandatory for progression in the game appears on screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Press F to Pay Respects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any tension or emotional commitment to the character immediately falls flat. While comedy is rooted in subversion of expectations, this was not the intention of Activision<\/em>, the game\u2019s publisher. And thus, a meme was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Countless edits of this screenshot have been made, replacing the soldier\u2019s portrait with deceased celebrities,\u00a0Chance the Rapper\u2019s career after proclaiming his love for his wife<\/a>, politicians, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The letter F is now a form of paying respects – in mourning, in jest or in commemoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Live streamers have adopted this meme in the form of a CTA (Call to Action) to engage their viewers with the popularized phrase, \u201cCan I get some Fs in the chat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This CTA is most often used when something unfortunate happens, typically with mixed emotions of humor and sadness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m no stranger to the meme game. Although I did take a much-needed break October 2019 to mid-January 2020, the spark to make memes never faded. I’ve brought back one of my staple meme pages, Please Press F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Facebook censorship is getting rougher and rougher, so I’d like to just enjoy the time I have a large, established audience while I can. Let’s ride it out until the Zuckergod taketh away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Press](\"http:\/\/christweten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/press-f-juice-wrld.png\")
