disturbancesthey

Disturbancesthey is a term that emerged in online communities, particularly within gaming and internet culture, to describe a specific type of disruptive behavior. The phrase is a playful, internet-slang variation of "disturbances they," referencing the phrase "disturbances they" from the 2016 video game *Overwatch* by Blizzard Entertainment. In the game, the character Tracer uses this phrase when she is teleported, creating a humorous and recognizable sound effect. Over time, players began using the phrase in memes and as a reaction to unexpected or chaotic events, often in a lighthearted or ironic way.

The term gained broader attention when it was adopted in discussions about online toxicity, particularly in gaming forums and social media. Users began referencing "disturbancesthey" as a way to mock or call out disruptive behavior, such as trolling, harassment, or intentional chaos in multiplayer environments. It became a shorthand for situations where players or participants intentionally create chaos, often for amusement or to frustrate others. The phrase reflects the absurdity of such actions while also highlighting the frustration they can cause in online communities.

While "disturbancesthey" is primarily an internet meme, it has been discussed in broader conversations about digital etiquette and the impact of disruptive behavior in online spaces. Some communities have used the term humorously to address minor annoyances, while others have applied it more critically to highlight systemic issues with toxicity in gaming and social media. The phrase remains a cultural reference point for those familiar with gaming culture and internet humor.
