So, Knuckles the Echidna is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. He looks like this...
A while back a YouTuber did a video review of an old Sonic game and for no apparent reason briefly featured a squat, distorted version of Knuckles in it.
Knuckles appears around 1 minute 49 secondsThen also for no apparent reason a 3D modeller made a 3D model of this version of Knuckles and made it freely available.
There things might have rested except for the release of the game
VRChat, which allows players to interact with each other in a virtual world using 3D avatars. Again for no apparent reason a bunch of people downloaded the Knuckles avatar, and started flooding into
VRChat, repeating lines inspired by an African movie named
Who Killed Captain Alex? in a bad Ugandan accent, chiefly...
"Do you no dee wae?"
"Dis is not dee wae"
"You do not no dee wae"
"Where is dee queen?"
"Spit on him brothers!"
And variations thereof.The plague of Ugandan Knuckles has since spread across the internet at large, and we are all the poorer for it
