The 'Deus Ex' meme primarily centers around protagonist Adam Jensen from the 2011 game Deus Ex: Human Revolution and his signature line, 'I never asked for this.' The phrase, delivered in Jensen’s gravelly voice, became a viral sensation for its perceived melodrama and utility as a reaction to unwanted or overwhelming situations. Beyond Jensen, the franchise is also known for JC Denton’s 'What a shame' and 'My vision is augmented' lines from the original 2000 title. These memes typically highlight feelings of cynical detachment, unexpected technological complications, or simply the absurdity of conspiracy-laden narratives. Today, they remain a staple of gaming culture, used to express begrudging acceptance of chaotic circumstances.
