    Can we make a V.2 of this template? It’s funny, but I hate seeing Crowder’s ugly face and giving him free publicity with these memes.

        I don’t think so, unless I’ve been misinterpreting these memes for years. I’ve always understood it to be like the Lisa Simpson one, where the text is just a stand-in for OP’s “controversial” opinion and wants to open up a discussion

          It’s a pompous asshole egging people on to prove him wrong

          It has a different tone from the Lisa one

          I can confirm, you’re misinterpreting the memes. Originally it was acknowledging that they’re an asshole themselves that hold a technically correct but ultimately contrarian or socially disrupting opinion. They might be right, but they are still assholes who are antagonizing the public to derive personal entertainment from outrage at the cost of actually constructive dialogue. It’s the epitome of bad faith arguing. Most people fail to identify this nuance and use the meme format incorrectly, thus rendering its original meaning obsolete.

            I would argue that this is part of how memes evolve just like language. The original context is largely lost and forgotten and with that the use of the format changes over time

          Do you have some kind of insecurity problem? Because that wasn’t a flex at all but you sure are showing weird insecurity. You obviously think people who don’t consume pop media are better than you or something… Because there’s no other reason to make a post like you did. And it’s really telling of your character. It’s like you’re mad because I’m not interested in pop culture… That’s so fucking weird. Who the fuck acts like that, lol.

            Lmao I think this reply is the most telling thing about either of us. Your comment was an anecdote that doesn’t apply to the person you replied to.

            “Can we stop posting this guy? I can’t stand him”

            “Just reteoactively do what I did and stop being exposure to pop media”

            Ok well seeing as that ship has sailed, it sounds like you just wanted to brag about not knowing him which is a weird thing to be proud of…
