In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Toddposting” is a rare card of the Memes World series 71, number 21106 of the collection, and the 55th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Toddposting” meme mean?

The trend pokes fun at Bethesda’s persistent commercial tactics, especially the constant re-releases of Skyrim and heavy promotional pushes. It portrays the studio figurehead as an obsessive merchant who adopts absurd, transparent personas to convince players to buy another copy of his games. Internet users deploy it to ridicule franchise milking and corporate consumer pressure.

Where does the “Toddposting” meme come from?

The joke originated during the summer of 2015 on 4chan following Bethesda’s E3 showcase regarding Fallout 4. Earliest tracked records date back to a Fallout thread on the /vg/ board on July 10, 2015. Community members started sharing manipulated pictures placing the developer’s face onto bizarre bodies or feminine outfits while spouting shameless sales pitches. The format rapidly expanded across video game forums as a running joke surrounding subsequent studio announcements.
