That’s not really fair to Crowder. He’s also a misogynist and racist piece of shit.

The problem is just the meme is misused. It should only be for intentionally bad takes

To be fair, he is racist too!!!

I don’t think anyone should change your mind on this one

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.

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.

First time I see the name, had to search it. To me, it is just a “change my mind” meme with no relevance as to which person is in it.

Why, because there are only two genders?

I really hope that’s sarcasm.

And yet I pulled more bitches than you without a gender, curious

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.

Spoilers - he didn’t want anyone to change his mind.

If you don’t know how shitty of a person Steven Crowder is, take a look at this video (tw: verbal abuse) of him berating his pregnant wife.
His whole thing with “Change My Mind” is him going around to college campuses and debate-lording unprepared college students, and at the first sign of losing he weasels out.

Maybe the change my mind meme should just be avoided entirely rather than creating a replacement as it’s just giving the bigot more publicity and letting more people know thier name when you complain about it being used rather than the replacement.

Wait why are we mad at Calvi and Hobbs?

We are not. OP writes about the regular “change my mind” meme guy

On the flip side, I say we continue to use them. Let his legacy be something completely out of his control, and let him learn that while he’s still alive.

This is the best solution.
