Press Y to Shame Meme Template

• Template Name: Press Y to Shame / Celebrimbor Shame
• Origin: This meme originates from the 2017 video game Middle-earth: Shadow of War. In the game, the player has the option to "Shame" defeated Orc captains, a mechanic used to lower their level or break their will. The prompt appearing on-screen with the "Y" button (on Xbox controllers) alongside the word "Shame" became a viral screenshot for expressing total, deadpan disappointment.
• Key Vibes: Disappointment, judgment, cold disapproval, and "I expected better from you" energy.
