About
Shen's Descent refers to an exploitable webcomic strip by Shen Comix in which the protagonist says he must go into a dangerous tunnel to "know what happened to my friends." In the original final panel, the tunnel is labeled "K-Pop fandom." This is changed in the exploitables.
Origin
On July 13th, 2018, Shen posted the strip to his Twitter account, gaining over 19,000 retweets and 59,000 likes[1] (shown below). Two days later, he tweeted a follow-up comic showing him completely consumed by K-Pop fandom, gaining over 6,200 retweets and 25,000 likes[2] (shown below, right).
Spread
After the comics were posted, exploitable variations began appearing online referencing various fandoms, many of which were gaming-related. For example, on July 14th, user ElectricReddix posted a Hollow Knight variation to /r/HollowKnight, gaining over 160 points (shown below, right). A fighting game variant posted to /r/Tekken by user evawsonsimp gained over 376 points (shown below, right).
Other edits appeared on Imgur [3] and Reddit's /r/MemeEconomy [4] declaring it a new meme format. The latter (shown below, right), gained 16 points.
