On: OK Doomer

[strogonoff]

Contrary to my expectations, this article is about the venerable game Doom and not about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomer.

[cosmojg → strogonoff]

I'm pretty sure the pun is intentional.

[Schiphol → cosmojg]

The main pun is with 'OK Boomer', though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Boomer

[willis936 → Schiphol]

There are zoomer, doomer, and even bloomer variants of the “OK Boomer” meme. The author is likely riffing off of those riffs.

I believe the author of this article went from OK Boomer to OK <videogame> Doomer, going from <subculture> Doomer to <videogame> Doomer seems way out of left field. Hence the original commenter’s confusion.
