The 'Pablo' meme within the Hollow Knight community serves as a symbol of the collective 'insanity' experienced by fans waiting for the highly anticipated sequel, Silksong. Typically depicted as a crude, green, four-legged bug, Pablo emerged from the community's habit of inventing fake news and characters to cope with the lack of official updates from developer Team Cherry. While not an official character in the game, Pablo has become a mascot for the 'clown' culture on subreddits and Discord servers, representing the pure copium of fans who believe every Nintendo Direct will finally be the one. Using Pablo allows players to satirize their own desperation and the endless cycle of hope and disappointment that defines the long Silksong wait.
