I am literally going to use this
Nice!! Share your results with us if you want to. B)
I agree that Crowder shouldn't be a meme.
I also think that his meme "Change my mind" shouldn't live on through Calvin. We can get the point across without keeping any of the Crowder-created bits.
What is the actual source of the image? I assumed all the text was unrelated. Did he really do a "change my mind" table?
yes the original text was "there are only 2 genders change my mind" if I'm remembering correctly
Shithead.
Please share the template
I'd love to use it
I mean the image is staunch black and white it would be so easy to just white out the text...
Not the exaxt same tho
"Steven Crowder Does Not Deserve a Meme Format" deserves a meme format!
Sure, I'll play this game.
The premise of the convincing is loaded. No one deserves shit. Steven Crowder made the format famous and therefore he is attributed to it.
Whether or not the person is a piece of shit is irrelevant and ad hominem. If Hitler said 1 + 1 = 2, Hitler is right. You don't get to deny that just because you hate the person. Shitty people can make correct statements and they can achieve things. Doesn't matter which name we apply to it. We must be able to argue on the merits of the statement or format without sorting to personal feelings on the person, lest you become the one who is intolerant.
Main problem is: Steven Crowder did not make the meme. People made a meme out of him. There was no "format" - he wanted to be edgy and debate. Then, he became a meme. Nothing to take from, nor attribute to him.
However, I much prefer Calvin and never want to see anything related to Steven Crowder. And what was that about Hitler? ..that...just...wow ...
Thank fuck there's someone on this website that still has brains.
The way most people around here operate Good = smart and bad = dumb.

Why not have personal feelings about someone that sucks? We're not in a court of law deciding on whether someone should go to prison FFS. We're on a silly website deciding whether a dumb meme is entertaining or not. If a meme is associated with a shit person which results in bad feelings, those feelings negatively impact the entertainment value of the meme.
Hitler made paintings. Not wanting to hang a painting made by Hitler it your house doesn't mean someone thinks all paintings suck. It just means they think Hitler sucks and would prefer not to be reminded of the shit Hitler did every time they walk into the living room. You're saying that people should somehow forget that Hitler made those paintings and enjoy them for the paintings themselves and forget about the person that made them. But that's just not how brains work, dude. People do think of the person who made the art when forming opinions about something that's so very subjective.

Oh no someone I don't like is in a meme format.
Why is it always a strawman with you people. Crowder is on video verbally abusing and degrading his wife, among the constant garbage hate, propaganda and misinformation he spews. He is a piece of shit and I could do without seeing his face. Even if you agree with his politics, he's a sniveling smug asshole and has been a provocateur for years. I'll take calvin any day
Do you not know what strawman means? There's plenty of people in memes I don't like, e.g. Zuckerberg, Alex Jones, etc. But I don't demand they no longer be a meme because I don't agree with them. Your life must be so taxing if you care so much about a silly meme format.
It is a strawman because you are clearly underselling the problem with Crowder and misrepresenting the point. It's not just "I don't like him". It seems you care a lot more about this meme format than you let on.
That's not a strawman. He's on topic.
Underselling is not an attribute of strawman. And I'm not sure what he misrepresented.
If anything, your argument is an ad hominem. Why is verbally abusing and degrading his wife, an insult towards his character, relevant to what he said? He is a piece of shit. So? If you're saying we should use Calvin because Crowder is piece of shit, you're just proving @BeefDaddySupreme@lemmy.world 's point.
P.S. I'm sure I'm gonna get mega downvoted. Arguing with logic is apparently not a thing on the internet.
He is purposefully misrepresenting the argument being made and dismissing it. He is trivializing the actual point which is that Crowder is problematic beyond "I don't like him". He is dismissing a facile version of the actual problem, which is indeed a strawman. The subject is Crowder's bad behavior (to put it mildly), which is manifested in his actions toward others as well as his other unsavory views.
"Piece of shit" is surely ad hominem -- if I was addressing Crowder's arguments and responding to him. But I am not. So, no, in this context, it is really not ad hominem.
My one and only point is that Crowder is a PoS (or shall we say "problematic" if that is more your speed) for many reasons, and I like the Calvin version better.

Satanism is this meme but as a religion.
Like in the way Satanism parodies christianity and does it better in every way?
Pretty much. Their whole identity is basically "not Christianity". They don't even worship Satan!
Hail Satan!
My Satanism aligns with The Satanic Temple which has positive values that are summed up in the 7 Tenets. It's true that it's "not Christianity", but that is true for every religion (except for Christianity).
They don’t even worship Satan!
Why would we? Satan doesn't exist, but even if he did, worshiping him would just be reactionary anti-Christianity, replacing one god with another.

what do he do be doin
He's a conservative commentator who regularly says homophobic and racist stuff.
Yeahhh right that doesn't sound like he's a good guy lmao
I listened to a snippet of his trash and the only funny part was that he always refers to US President Joe Biden as “Former Vice President Joe Biden”.
The rest was complete shit.
Change his mind.
This. ^^^
