About
Donte/Fuck You is a meme based off of the upcoming action game DmC: Devil may Cry. It originated on 4Chan’s /v/ board between 2010 and 2012.
Origin
In 2010, Capcom and Ninja Theory unveiled DmC: Devil my Cry. This game was essentially a reboot of the beloved action series. However, the reception of the trailer didn’t impress people, and the new design of Dante was off putting to the fanbase.
Various sources began to refer to this new reboot’s version of Dante, the protagonist of the series, as Donte, due to the fact he doesn’t look, or act like the original Dante. The title of Donte is mostly used by longtime fans of the series who don’t want to call this a Devil May Cry game, and would have rather it not existed, or at least changed to be more like the source material.
The meme developed more as a new trailer with Donte saying “Fuck You!” hit the internet. This pretty much summed up how the fanbase felt about DmC.
