      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.

      True. My bad.

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

        Don’t take these guys that seriously.

        There’s a Calvin and Hobbes version that is simply superior but at this point any damage possible from advertising Crowder has been done, and anyone that still pays attention to him after his very well earned divorce is a lost cause regardless.

        Plus, as old people, they don’t know the youths don’t know who Calvin is.

    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 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.

      I guess? I always thought it was ironic.

      But then I suppose that any publicity is good publicity.

        Yeah awhile ago reddit had a big debate about if they should be using that meme format or not and they eventually agreed on no.

        Those who still wanted to use the format agreed to switch over to a Calvin and Hobbes alternative.

            This was during a time where that shit was like every 2nd post, that was hardly a piss in the river compared to what was going down.

    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.
