Ugandan Knuckles

Ugandan Knuckles is a meme that originated from a 2017 viral video featuring a character called Knuckles from the “Sonic the Hedgehog” franchise, depicted in a distinctive, stylized manner resembling a Ugandan accent. The meme gained popularity through the virtual reality platform VRChat, where users would imitate the character, often asking others if they "know the way." While initially humorous, it sparked discussions about cultural representation and stereotypes. Ugandan Knuckles embodies how internet culture can create shared experiences, but it also highlights the fine line between playful humor and cultural insensitivity.
