Because he doesn’t deserve to be the guy in the meme. Think about all the other actually cool people who have been immortalized in silly memes, a lot of times they get interviewed and it is really funny. Everybody enjoys on some level that the person in the funny meme they are looking at is actually a real human being who has the goofy honor of being famous for the really specific, niche context of that meme.
Why give that joy to a complete asshole and loser? Why give it to a media personality who spreads hate? Who cares if nobody recognizes who Crowder is, Crowder doesn’t even deserve to be interfaced with as an anonymous white dude in a meme, it takes away the necessary shame Crowder should experience at every interface with the broader public.
Within the context of the meme it's a guy with a mug and an exploitable sign on his table. Nothing more.
This shit sounds pretty tiring, IMO :/
Are you trying to suggest that the literal image of the man who created the meme has nothing to do with the man himself?
Yes I understand the question "who is that?" may not occur to you. It does to others, and results in this pile of dirt getting free traffic.
Most memes have nothing to do with the person in the meme. I doubt crowder himself made the meme, even if he did it doesn't really matter as the meme has transcended the person st this point.
His change my mind videos quite literally spawned the meme. His platform became more popular because of the meme.
Do you even know anything about crowder or are you just talking out of your ass?
I really don't give a shit about internet famous people and now, I also don't care why anyone else cares. I'm sorry I ever asked the question.
