It was old news and everyone moved on. New artists flocked in, and with them came new people, as well as what I have to surmise are older individuals seeking a target. It's not surprising that its happening like this at all. There's no mystery afoot. But I just can't buy that it's a meme, unless everything is a meme. It doesn't land. It doesn't stick. There's no good way to excuse only half of his actions to completion, without the other half invalidating the meme status, solely due to their explicit, outward semblance of autistic character. I could go into depth as to what doesn't stick the landing to the tune of "just joking", but that's ultimately another dead horse.
To recap, I don't think it's so much that anons are dedicated to Shadow. He's just intentionally or uncontrollably making himself a target for those intent on making noise. Several people fell into that position and they all slipped out of it, except for Shadow. I don't have any questions as to why. Is he dying for bad attention? I've seen some seriously unaware behavior from him, so provided there was at least 1 genuine thing from him of those moments where he was prattling about the mundane, I can't even imagine it.
And there's too much talk of "obsessing" lately. I'm not sure the word means what it meant at this point, and it's a curious word to use with regards to the whole Shadow thing.
