    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.

      You’re not missing out. The guy is top tier gross. But, just better to not use his meme.

      Yeah I mean I’m about as indifferent to using him in the meme as I am with the Drake meme - and I blame Drake (in part) for all the deaths at Astroworld. The meme is separate to the man.

      Except Hide The Pain Harold, he’s a dude and deserves love for being in and embracing his meme.

    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.

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