Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage." -Charlie Kirk

We need a slider for this painting so we can scale his face to the correct size.

Ok, you are joking, but I only recently learned that a lot of the images of his face (ie memes, bcs ofc I otherwise wouldn't know of his existence) aren't photoshoped/alerted.
Dude really master debated with that face & ppl took it seriously.
(And he earned millions.)

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He earned more than millions 😉.

Ok jokes aside. It's a bit nuts that this idiot was taken seriously and given a platform to spread his bullshit around. But his looks are just a fun way to mock him, appearance shouldn't be a reason to wave away someone's arguments (as horrible and flawed as they were).

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I totally agree with that, and actually think arguments (any work, especially intellectual) can have it's own intrinsic value despite originating from dogshit human.

I was given some shit about this over the years, but I stand by it (unless it harms other people, trauma is real).

This just isn't the same as praising that person.

Absolutely. Dogshit people can still say something I can agree with and I don't think there is anything wrong with taking that position. Some people automatically disagree with a point just because it comes out the mouth of a person they don't like, and that feels closed minded; a broken clock is still right twice a day I suppose.

That said fuck Charlie Kirk.

Yes.

I mean, a random character generator can have the best idea.

Humans can literally make a mistake in pronunciation & make a good point.

I'm sure parrots had original sayings better than a lot of humans.

Okay, I’m gonna need to see some proof that this isn’t meant to depict Canadian actor and duct tape connoisseur Patrick McKenna

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That's who I thought of too!

The neck looks wrong.

This is insulting to Beavis.

Good likeness

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

This looks like when that lady painted over the Jesus portrait

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

It's like he's still with us.

"Damn it, Beavis, you got blood all over my neck!"

Why's there a penis hanging on him?
