About
OwO What's This? is a copypasta parodying both furries and online roleplay subcultures, which is typically used online as a method of trolling.
Origin
The phrase originated from online roleplay within the furry community. It and phrases similar to it were used regularly, as well as emoticons such as "OwO".
The earliest known usage of the phrase (below) was on January 6th, 2013, on DeviantArt by user CookiMuffinFaic. It received over 130 views, 3 comments, and 3 downloads in about 3 and a half years.[4]

Spread
On June 24, 2015 Imgur user MinotaurusPro uploaded an image of two furries sexually roleplaying while using the phrase (shown below)[7] and on July 2nd, 2015, Tumblr user of-monsters-and-bara posted the image to the site with the caption "WHO DID THIS". While the original post is inaccessible, surviving reblogs indicate that it gained over 60,000 notes in about 1 year.[5]
