The 'Why He Ourple' meme stems from a humorous misspelling of the question 'Why is he purple?' often accompanied by the crying-laughing emoji. Originally gaining traction within the Five Nights at Freddy's community in reference to the character William Afton (The Purple Guy), the meme exploded in popularity due to its absurdist spelling and ironical tone. It transitioned from a niche gaming reference to a general-purpose reaction for any character or object that appears unexpectedly purple. The intentional typo 'ourple' has since become a staple of internet slang, representing a specific brand of low-fidelity, high-irony humor that thrives on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok.
