the ā___ change my mindā guy sitting at a desk is Steven Crowder who is literally a deep conservative ācomedianā and the biggest transphobe of 2018 so can we NOT use that meme anymore thanks. he literally calls trans people tr**** in some of his videos and refers to caitlyn jenner (I may not like her but Christ) as a transgender f@scist because she transitioned and refers to her transitioning as āgoing full #sjw.ā this meme is cancelled and not funny. use google if you donāt believe me. bye
yeah actually i did some research (googling. i googled) and this is what the the original image was: (as opposed to what i first saw it as and what other might have, and had assumed that was the real one)Ā
he does stuff like that a lot;Ā
so yeah Yikes.Ā
Shit, I just looked him up as well.
FuckingĀ YIKES, meme cancelled.
FYI. Donāt reblog or make any more memes from this guy. Fucking creep.
Iāve known this was Steven Crowder from the start and Iāve known who Steven Crowder is for probably more than 5 years, I thought most people knew who he was and just memed him anyways. First time I saw this meme I was sceptical and asked the person who reblogged it if they knew who it was, and they knew who it was. I donāt see this meme as a meme that celebrates Steven Crowder or gives him a platform. I always saw this meme as satire. He looks ridiculously smug and arrogant sitting in public, sipping coffee as heās flagging a banner with the only intent to provoke people around him.
Furthermore some of the earliest forms of this meme are very clear about being satire, I checked the twitter users of the people who made them and they donāt seem to be on board with Steven Crowders politics.
This includes images like;Ā
And this one;
Itās like when people was making a meme out of Richard Spencer, syncing him getting punched in the face to music and stuff.
At this point the meme has evolved further though, the most common version of this meme Iāve seen isĀ āX is a precious baby, change my mindā, X being a character that OP loves ofc. Or some kind of variation of that, usually relating to fandom that reflects OPs opinion. I donāt think that as much means that the creators of these memes are saying that Crowders reasoning is correct because theyāre using it the same way he does(when the sign reflects what the person who wrote the sign believes), itās more like it delegitimizes his strategy and the power of this image because itās been devalued from provocative political strategy toĀ āi love pikachu bitch fukin fight meā.
On top of that, I wanna note that many people put their subjective views as the caption for these images and the reason why this meme is funny(at least to some) is becauseĀ āchange my mindā is obviously not something they ever mean. It may SAYĀ āchange my mindā, but since when has OP ever meant that someone should attempt it, or even consider actually changing their minds? Itās because he doesnāt mean it when he wrote it in the first place and so in a sense these meme calls him out for being intelllectually dishonest and just another troll.
I donāt think this meme is cancelled. I donāt see the harm in spreading this image with different captions but I DO think people should know who this man is, I thought he was a bit more well known than that. But I think most of all, itās important to point out, Iāve never ever really seen a rightwing version of this meme and I think itās for all the reasons explained in this post, no rightwing person would spread a meme that makes Crowder look like a fucking clown(because he himself, from the start is making himself look like a fucking clown).

I swear this post is blessed or something because I said āI want a reason to go somewhereā while looking at this post and then pretty much just after, my mother asked me to go to the store to get some eggs since I used the last 2
Tumblrās āwalking on eggshellsā and āone strike, youāre outā mentality is really really immature.
Reblog if ya agree.
Another unpopular opinion:
TheĀ āYou can apologize, beg for forgiveness, and change your ways all you want but it wonāt change a thing cause youāre still horrible vile trash that deserves to die a fiery deathā mentality is really harmful, scary, disgusting, and will probably get someone killed, be it by someone elseās hand or their own
yet another unpopular opinion: the āunproblematic favā mentality is really bad because youāre putting an individual up on a pedestal and treating them like a deity of sorts and forgetting that they too are human beings and make mistakes.
Another unpopular opinion: Not every mistake is the Worst Thing Ever.Ā Sometimes people make small mistakes, and sometimes ignorance is a small mistake, and they do not need to grovel and beg and apologize perfectly because in the scheme of things it was a small mistake that didnāt even seriously hurt anyone, outside of tumblrās performative moral outrage being offended.
tumblr is pretty cool because no matter what you choose to blog about (whether it be jokes, a fandom, fashion, or something else) someone out there will always explicitly hate you for it with mad intensity
