Bandit from the show Bluey sitting at a table out front of his house, with a mug in his hand, and a sign posted on that table. The sign has a blank spot on it, presumably for controversial opinions, and underneath where that blank spot is it says "change my mind".

I am partial to the Bandit version myself

    Crowder's a piece of shit who doesn't even practice what he preaches.

    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?

    "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.

    Not sure what any of this has to do with the fact that some people would prefer not to see this shithead's face. He's probably wrong about most things but that's not really what this meme is about. This meme is about whether we want to see his face constantly or not. Many would prefer not to see it.

    What this meme is not about? Saying Hitler is wrong because he's Hitler...

    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 ...

    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.

    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!

    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.
