What is the Simba Shadowy Place Meme?

About the Simba Shadowy Place Meme
Three panels from Disney's The Lion King. Panel 1: Mufasa and young Simba stand atop Pride Rock, golden savanna stretching to the horizon, as Mufasa gestures broadly at their kingdom. Panel 2: Simba looks toward a dark, barren area beyond the borders and asks about it. Panel 3: Mufasa's expression hardens as he warns Simba never to go to that place. Each panel holds a text overlay.
From Disney's The Lion King (1994). Mufasa stands on Pride Rock with young Simba, telling him "Everything the light touches is our kingdom." Simba asks about the shadowy place beyond the border, and Mufasa sternly replies "You must never go there." The meme format emerged around 2011, using the three panels to set up a domain of ownership or familiarity, a question about what lies beyond, and a firm warning. It maps onto any situation where there is a clear boundary between safe territory and forbidden territory. For another boundary-setting format, see Expanding Brain (escalating ideas) or This Is Fine (ignoring the boundary entirely).
