About
Mucho Texto is a reaction and image macro based on a fan art depiction of the Star Wars character Yoda dressed in a hip-hop fashion, coupled with the phrase "Mucho texto" (which translates to "Too much text") or the snowclone Mucho X (which translates to "Too much X"). The meme is often used to ignore extensive posts full of text, such as rants, arguments or apologies that the reader deems are too daunting.
Origin
Hip-hop Yoda / Hipster Yoda
On May 31st, 2007, DeviantArt user Almigh-T[1] created a fan art of Yoda dressed in a hip-hop fashion wearing a bucket hat, gold chain and sneakers (shown below). The post received over 58,000 views, 458 favorites and 151 comments in over 13 years.
Mucho X snowclone
On April 4th, 2020, Instagram[2] user malardo.png posted a meme in which someone is run over by a truck, and Yoda, depicted as the viewer's dad, simply responds by saying "Mucha play" (which translates to "Too many videogames") (seen below). Different versions, such as "Mucha compu" and "Mucha ciber" (which translate to "Too much computer" and "Too much cybercafe"), were posted on Memedroid[3] as early as April 18th.
Mucho Texto
Though the phrase "mucho texto" has been used on Twitter to make fun of political posts and memes since late April 2020,[4][5][6] the earliest available instance it was coupled with the Yoda fan art was posted on May 3rd by @quackercillo[7] during an argument with @endbc.
However, interactions of user @xumosplash suggest he was the author of the image macro. On May 8th, after users @ABN_libertario[8] and @Carrascxl[9] used the meme against him, @xumosplash[10] replied he was "doomed by his meme" and clarified he edited the “mucho texto” version of the image macro (shown below).[11] Other tweets also refer to the meme as his creation.[12][13]

xumosplash: The original is 'mucha play'. There are other versions. I edited the 'mucho texto' one.
Spread
On May 18th, 2020, Twitter[14] user @pedrobermejo10 posted screenshots of a Whatsapp conversation in which he uses the meme to ignore a vent from his partner (shown below, left). The post has been cited over 6,500 times, retweeted over 4,100 times and has gained over 41,000 likes in less than 7 months (shown below, center and right).[15]
On May 26th, YouTuber[16] fartuad posted a video of a man with a Yoda mask dancing to "Robot Rock" by Daft Punk after using the phrase to interrupt an appreciation post from a BTS fan. The video gathered over 132,000 views in roughly six months (seen below).
I always thought: what would have happened with my life if I had never met BTS? What would have been of me without them, without their music, without their smiles. I always had thought running through my head, but I realized that I'll never feel that, because BTS will live within me wherev- MUCHO TEXTO
On June 10th, Instagram[17] user venompost.png posted a video featuring Sonic the Hedgehog who mocks people flooding comment sections with the image macro (shown below). The video was watched over 61,000 times in less than six months, and a YouTube[18] reupload of the clip has gained over 180,000 views.
