Titan names get unexpectedly personal

Text on the meme

This Saturday Gamers we will be hosting a Titanfall BLM event. Change your Titans Color to Stoic Dark And make your Username to Something of African American descent. We do these acts to spread awareness in these unfortunate times. #acab #blm #titanfall What are you all naming your titan for next Fridays event, im going with Deshawn. #blm #acab #titanfall Can I name it after my cat? what might that be?

What it means

A sequence of screenshots from a Titanfall-related Twitter joke begins with an absurdly serious announcement about a BLM-themed event and naming Titans with African American names. Someone says they will name their Titan Deshawn, then asks to name it after their cat; the final black-and-white reaction image of a suited man holding an animal, paired with Yugo Kanno’s dramatic orchestral anime soundtrack “Fine Della Vento Aureo,” makes the innocent question feel ominous and absurd. It is used as a reaction to a joke that suddenly takes a dark or unexpectedly serious turn.
