Steven Crowder does not deserve a meme.

Could just edit a dildo in place of his head, I'd be satisfied with that. If that's off the table then I say we retire this version of the meme. Like you said, this shitbag doesn't deserve to be a meme.

Wish I had more upvotes to give. This is so perfect, I literally couldn't have asked for better.

Just noticed that the mug needs to be changed, but otherwise...

True. My bad.

I always considered it to be an ironic meme, but at some point any publicity is too much publicity.

I never realized the guy was famous, just figured it was some random guy

That or he's been doing this non-stop for thirty years. You tend to cover a lot of scenarios in that time.

Yea, there's over 700 episodes of a show that directly speaks about American culture. You're gonna get some guesses right. Bet there's as many misses as well but we don't call them predictions until they're true.

I happen to know that Matt Groening weighs significantly more than a duck and as such can't be a witch.

I think since his early Life in Hell comics he just has had a keen satirical and critical mind and sees how often life is stranger than fiction.

A male witch is a warlock right? Perhaps he's a reality warper, and isn't predicting things like Trump becoming president, but rather he's MAKING IT HAPPEN!!! BURN THE WARLOCK!

male witch is a warlock right

Depends on your source. I'm sure there's some context on which that's true.

If we're talking the transphobic author's world, a male witch is a wizard. Warlock, there, is a title kinda like "knight".

In D&D a warlock is a person who gets magic by forming a pact with an otherworldly patron, like a devil or fey. A witch has meant different things at different times, but probably most strongly conjured images of an old-looking hag brewing potions with a familiar.

According to IRL wiccan lore a warlock is an evil male practiser of witchcraft, while a witch can be male or female.

Other contexts will have other explanations, I'm sure.

I appreciate the information, it really sheds light on the nuance of those words.

Witch here. Nailed it.

Did he turn you in to a newt?

Well... I got better.

Here let me try: Matt, you’ve been mocking capitalism and mainstream society for over three decades and in the process have managed to make one of the most overly commercialized mainstream tv shows to ever exist.
