The 'I Never Asked for This' meme originated from the 2011 video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, spoken by the protagonist Adam Jensen. In the game, Jensen is critically injured and undergoes extensive cybernetic augmentation against his will to survive, leading to his iconic line delivered with gravelly, brooding resignation. The phrase quickly became a viral catchphrase used to describe any situation where someone is thrust into a position or condition they didn't seek out. On the internet, it serves as the ultimate expression of reluctant acceptance or frustration with unwanted changes, often applied to software updates, workplace tasks, or general life inconveniences.
