Fans of Sonic The Hedgehog are well acquainted with Knuckles, the red echidna made pop through a series of video games produced by Sega.

Recently, the character has taken on a whole new persona online in the course of Ugandan Knuckles.

Not but has the character morphed into its own meme, complete with catchphrase, it has devolved into an unfortunate fixture of Cyberspace memes — a troll that harasses other online players and spews racist phrases.

Here is  what you need to know about Duke, and his second life nether his Ugandan form.

Who is Knuckles?

He is a video game character affiliated with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He made his debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, becoming pop enough to earn height billing with Sega'south flagship star in Sonic & Knuckles. Sonic is the speedy type, while Knuckles is slower only stronger.

When did the transformation begin?

According to the website Know Your Meme, YouTube user GregZilla published a review in Feb 2017 for the game Sonic Lost World. It features a parody blitheness of Knuckles that looks shorter and fatter compared to his original form. The depiction of Knuckles was later turned into a 3D model past a user of the website DeviantArt. Versions of Knuckles have since appeared in various videos, near notably singing.

So when did the Ugandan version take over?

Ugandan Duke is inspired partly by the film "Who Killed Helm Alex?", a low-upkeep Ugandan action/comedy released in 2010. Ugandan Knuckles' catchphrase "do you know the style" spoken with an African accent was inspired by a similar line in the movie (it is likewise phonetically spelled "do you know de wey?")

How did Ugandan Knuckles become and then popular?

Through an app chosen VRChat, a virtual reality social game. With a 3D model in identify, users were able to populate VRChat with endless Ugandan Knuckles, all saying the same phrase and sometimes making clucking sounds, an apparent simulated of the sounds that are office of southern African languages. Information technology has also popped upwardly in other games including PlayerUnknown'due south Battlegrounds, and on tee-shirts emblazoned with a version of "de wey" phrase.

In i video, several Duke are seen chasing other avatars around repeating "practise you know the manner," or making clucking sounds.

This sounds racist

Outlets including New York Magazine and gaming news site Kotaku annotation when users are mimicking African accents or clicking sounds, they will crack jokes about the Ebola virus. In one YouTube video, a version of Duke is shown wearing what appears to be blackface with the paradigm of a watermelon across its breast.

The pairing of Uganda Knuckles avatars with these comments got gaming computer company Razer in trouble last month after it tweeted out an prototype featuring the character. Some Twitter users complained they were using a racist meme to promote their products. In a subsequent tweet, Razer confirmed the tweet was deleted after people pointed out its "negative undertones."

Many users criticized Razer'due south decision to delete the tweet, claiming they gave in to political correctness.

Sega's Sonic account admonished users that the "right way" to use the meme was "respecting other players while having fun every bit Knuckles" and included a link to donate to a Uganda charity.

Meanwhile, the online, multiplayer game Roblox has told developers Ugandan Knuckles is not allowed inside the game.

What'due south next

If Knuckles' path away from innocence sounds familiar, it'south because we've sort of seen this unfold earlier.

Call up Pepe the Frog? He started out as a mellow amphibian featured in Boys Club cartoons before he played a fundamental role in politics as a racially charged meme.

His impact was powerful plenty the Anti-Defamation League declared Pepe a hate symbol. "Again, racists and haters have taken a popular Internet meme and twisted it for their own purposes of spreading bigotry and harassing users," said ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt in a argument in 2016.

Ugandan Duke isn't existence used equally a bluecoat in the same way Pepe ultimately was by some, as a nod to white supremacism. But it'due south a controversial meme whose joke is wound up in racial stereotypes. Information technology could become the adjacent Pepe, or it could simply fade into obscurity.
