Human, I Remember You're Genocides

About

Human, I Remember You're Genocides and Kris, I Remember You're Snowgraves are catchphrases referring to a series of Undertale and Deltarune memes in which Sans recalls acts of genocide committed by the player character, a reference to the game's "genocide route," to the character's face using the improper sentence, "Human.. I remember you're genocides," as if saying, "you are genocides" rather than "your genocides." The original version of the meme was posted to /r/Undertale in September 2022 and gained viral spread in 2023, inspiring memes and fan content referencing it on other subreddits, with some using it as a comedic example of the typical Undertale AU story, creepypasta fanfiction or fan game.

Origin

In Undertale, the player can see one of three possible alternate endings if they play the game by going the "genocide route," meaning they kill everyone they possibly can throughout the game.^[1]

On September 7th, 2022, Redditor u/myass41 posted a photoshop to /r/Undertale^[2] titled "gu-guys what's going on? what should i do?" likely referencing the genocide route where the character Sans confronts Frisk about doing a genocide run, saying, "Human.. I remember you're genocides." The meme gained 1,900 upvotes in a year (shown below).
