    So, I had no idea, but from a cursory search, I found these headlines:

    • Steven Crowder exposed himself at work
    • Steven Crowder suspended from YouTube for letting Alex Jones co-host
    • YouTube removes Steven Crowder video for violating COVID policy

    So yeah, probably we don’t need to use him in a popular meme format.

    Genuinely bugs me every time I see the meme. Even just referencing it feels like a tribute, but I get it’s pretty entrenched at this point.

    if we can turn hitler into a meme, we can turn him into a meme.

      As far as I know, Watterson was only against merchandising of the characters. With the exception of the pissing sticker I’m sure, as long as you’re using the media in good faith I think he’d probably be okay with it? Didn’t know the man

    For real. I instinctively downvote anything with the Crowder format even when I agree with the sentiment. Thank you for your service.

      I had no idea it was Crowder but I’ll probably do the same now.

    I feel similar about Drake memes. Not as strongly, mind you, but I still feel it

      I propose replacing OG Steve with Steve Crowder, a known scumbag.

    I prefer knowing Steve Crowder as the clueless meme guy, it takes some of his credibility away

    You lost me at adopting this meme format right there. At least Steven Crowder is in good ol’ 80% compression JPG.
