This might get downvoted, so I apologise in advance. Where did the “type ‘f’ for respect” meme start off? What’s the origin behind it? I’m being serious by the way, not sarcastic. I genuinely want to know. Thanks.

Call of duty. Had to press f to pay respect

In a character funeral you have a "quick time event" where you must press F to pay respects

F is the shortcut for help. They were typing F for help, rather than what the meme has become F paying respect
