Because it’s cheeky shorthand that conveys a certain aesthetic fixation with whatever the subject matter is. It’s certainly more interesting than just appending “pics” to everything. I’m open to alternatives, but language changes, and I’ve already gotten so used to it I don’t even think of actual pornography first when I hear the term.

The Lisa Simpson presentation meme is perfectly cromulent for soapboxing.

But if you didn’t know, Stephen Crowder is a right-wing Fox News presenter and commentator (he often hides under the dubious label of “comedian”) who has been booted from YouTube several times for homophobic and racist content. The meme format is okay in itself, but I’d love to not see his smarmy mug in it.

The great thing about memes is anyone can make a new one. I eagerly await the replacement for this one, which to my nose has gotten quite stale.

I just wanted to chime in here and add this lame-assed meme template to things we should retire in the fediverse.

Stephen Crowder is a bigoted chode, and using him for your meme template only undercuts whatever point you want to make.

Find a new meme for this purpose. Let’s do better.

r/the_donald or anything like it. Kindly fuck off with all of that shit.
