I hate that guy
(lemmy.ohaa.xyz)
Why would I change your mind‽
The sign commands it
Counterpoint: The rest of the Fediverse can see it too so it's not just for Lemmy.
Can I get a blank version my man

That's not really fair to Crowder. He's also a misogynist and racist piece of shit.
don't forget workplace sexual assaulter and abusive husband
Truly well rounded.
And a climate change denier. Basically a piece of shit grifter.
The Bluey version is better change my mind.
It’s a matter of time before the allegations start coming out about him.
"Bandit Heeler has recently come under scrutiny to the allegations that he is 'the bestest boy.' More tonight at 7"

Only use the original macro for dunking on Crowder.
The problem is just the meme is misused. It should only be for intentionally bad takes

I say we lose the entire Crowder meme format. The "change my mind" bit was from one of his stunts, and this is just keeping it alive longer
There's still many other meme formats that send the same message, we don't need to sully Calvin's image by associating it with a Crowder stunt
It only keeps it alive for those who know it. I had no idea who that dude was or where it was from.
I didn't even know who the mf was until people started posting this
I still don't know who he is, and I don't feel like looking it up
Why would anyone care who the stereotypical white dude is? That is giving importance/energy to the wrong thing. I didn't even really notice nor care who he was (and still don't). That said, I don't generate memes with him in it so I guess I'm doing my part. 🤷🏻♂️
Why would anyone care who the stereotypical white dude is?
Because he doesn’t deserve to be the guy in the meme. Think about all the other actually cool people who have been immortalized in silly memes, a lot of times they get interviewed and it is really funny. Everybody enjoys on some level that the person in the funny meme they are looking at is actually a real human being who has the goofy honor of being famous for the really specific, niche context of that meme.
Why give that joy to a complete asshole and loser? Why give it to a media personality who spreads hate? Who cares if nobody recognizes who Crowder is, Crowder doesn’t even deserve to be interfaced with as an anonymous white dude in a meme, it takes away the necessary shame Crowder should experience at every interface with the broader public.

I don't think anyone should change your mind on this one
Shouldn’t use Watterson’s work. He fought long and hard against stuff like this…

Spoilers - he didn’t want anyone to change his mind.
While I appreciate that he is a transphobe, and that may be the nexus between him and yourself, he's a whole lot more than that.
It's one of his many assaults against decent humanity.
Never heard of the man. Sometimes I wish we the internet would pay more attention to people that inspire us than to people that disgust us.

The only meme I see in this version is one complaining about needing to use this version over the original one.
It isn't helping.
In fact, because the name is spelled-out, more people now know about the guy.
