What does the “Ew, I Stepped In Shit” meme mean?

Where does the “Ew, I Stepped In Shit” meme come from?

The documented origin of this meme dates back to an online comic published by German artist Vincent Kunert. The strip was posted on the site LOLnein on June 3, 2013, under the initial title “Ew, shit”. In this original version, a man steps on feces and says “Ew, shit”, while the feces replies “Ew, human”. This absurd interaction quickly caught the internet community's attention. The title “Ew, I Stepped In Shit” became associated with this comic, although sources sometimes distinguish this label from the initial publication. The format spread as an exploitable reaction image, allowing users to modify speech bubbles to express rejection toward various subjects, particularly in anime and gaming communities.
