What does the “Enderman” meme mean?

Players use it to describe situations where a minor action leads to unexpected consequences or to express paranoia about being observed in dark environments.
Where does the “Enderman” meme come from?
The creature was designed by Markus Persson, known as Notch, the creator of Minecraft. It officially debuted in Minecraft Beta 1.8 on September 9, 2011, during the Adventure Update. An earlier screenshot showing dark silhouettes was shared by Notch on Google+ on July 26, 2011. The name and aesthetic are inspired by Slender Man, a horror character created by Eric Knudsen in June 2009 on the Something Awful forum. While the connection is widely accepted, specific statements from Notch confirming this inspiration are not extensively documented in primary sources.
