"uwu" is not actually a word, but a text emoticon. One should exercise caution in using the "uwu" emoticon without clear irony, especially as a male, as it can have negative connotations outside of weeaboo circles. 2603:7081:3445:F400:F4C3:8F34:F6FA:8F2E ( talk)

It's also associated with horny weeaboos and transgender 'egg' culture, too. Discord and Tumblr seem to be the ones spreading that most, which then made its way over to Twitter thanks to most people on both having active presence over there, too. 80.189.145.20 ( talk) 21:00, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
If notable, the "whats this" of uwu signifies the beginning of a copypasta that next goes "notices ur bulge" or something along those lines. Should someone add that to the article? -- Bumpf said this! ooh clicky clicky! [insert witty meta-text on wiki-sigs here] 01:18, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

– Per WP:DIFFCAPS. The fact is that uwu is always a lower-case emoticon and never has all its letters in upper-case. It is also quite clearly WP:PRIMARYTOPIC to Ayere language. The version of UWU that is an acronym is the one that requires disambiguation as it can refer either to United Workers Union or Uva Wellassa University, among other things. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 14:05, 4 February 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

WP:RSP isn't in favor of including KnowYourMeme, but I'm on the fence on whether it belongs here. InvadingInvader ( talk) 21:58, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
The one source ([4] at time of writing) that discusses the history is uses Know Your Meme {wp:knowyourmeme} as its primary source, and the claim has been strengthened from "this is the first confirmed usage in fanfic" (as opposed to chat rooms) to "this is the first usage on the internet" to "this is the first usage" (as presented here.) We should find grounds more relative than this! 2600:6C55:7C00:924:14D9:C6C5:4F20:71A9 ( talk) 23:20, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Uwu → UwU – It's more commonly used this way, since the eyes are usually above the mouth 72.10.126.194 ( talk) 18:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
In the section "It also has a more surprised and sometimes allusive variant, OwO", what specifically does the word "allusive" imply? What is being alluded to? The fact that OwO looks more surprised is also the author's opinion and probably should not be included. I propose it be changed to something along the lines of "It also has an open eyed variant, OwO" Explodingcreepsr ( talk) 19:13, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

speaking as a furry and an old weeb, we've used owo and uwu way, way longer than 2016. the source given cites urbandictionary as *its* source and neither of them are good sources here. 50.104.177.244 ( talk) 13:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
This article completely fails to mention its frequent ironic usage, as well as the combination of uwu with "uwu-speak", e.g. the expression of an ironic, or pseudo-ironic, statement that one loves committing war crimes might be rendered with in uwu speak as "i wuv to commit waw cwimes uwu" (please note that this statement is not intended to represent this author's opinions; it was chosen as — in their view — an archetypical example, which was stirred to recollection from memory after reading the sentence about the trolling of the US Army's Discord).
I'm not sure what, if any, sources can corroborate this, and I could be wrong now — but I don't think so!
