About
If You Like X, You Should Try Y, also known as Gaming Recommendation, refers to a meme format in which a recommendation to try out a certain thing, often humorous or extreme, is given to fans of a particular video game or video game genre. Originally based on a TikTok in which Bloodborne fans are given a recommendation to try out therapy, the format circulated widely on Twitter and Reddit in late November 2021.
Origin
On November 19th, 2021, TikTok[1] user @notebookpapr posted a humorous video in which she provided a "gaming recommendation" for those who like the action RPG Bloodborne, advising them to try out therapy. The video received over 561,000 views and 76,600 likes in ten days (shown below, left).
On November 20th, 2021, Twitter[2] user @Leodgrad reposted a still image from the video to Twitter, where it gained over 4,400 retweets and 43,300 likes in nine days (shown below, right).
