The animated video that an unknown internet user then made of the story on 4chan has been shared many times on social media and ended up on the student phone – even though platforms such as Facebook and YouTube try to remove the video after each upload.

A copypasta is a forum post in which memes and texts are (almost) completely copied, pasted and shared over and over again. On January 14, 2013, a copy paste titled Shrek Is Love, Shrek Is Life will be published on 4chan, a popular forum where anyone can post messages, photos, and comments anonymously. How do these underground memes escape their dark habitat? And what influence do they have on the wide world they end up in? Youngsters on the internet came up with the idea of rendering the website useless by bombarding it with Shrek memes that were once alone in the underworld of the internet. The controversial law prohibits abortion as soon as a heartbeat can be detected in the fetus. On the website, citizens can report people they believe are violating the new Texas abortion law.

And the title, Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life, became a familiar phrase for millennials and their successors, Generation Z.
