Yeah I mean I'm about as indifferent to using him in the meme as I am with the Drake meme - and I blame Drake (in part) for all the deaths at Astroworld. The meme is separate to the man.
Except Hide The Pain Harold, he's a dude and deserves love for being in and embracing his meme.
Can you elaborate on why you blame Drake for the Astroworld crush?
I just read the whole Wikipedia article about the incident. There is definitely a lot of blame to go around based on that article, but I doesnt have much about Drake's role in it. It seems like he was only on stage for one song, and wouldn't have been in any position to stop the show.
I'm not defending Drake, I'm just curious about what context I'm missing.
He was on stage when it happened, not quite pushing for fans to riot as much as Travis but still carrying on blind while people died. He definitely had some ability to do something, being on stage.
He's nowhere near as guilty as Travis, but I do hold him at least partly responsible. Probably because I don't really like him, and getting on stage with Travis didn't endear me any more.
As far as I know, Watterson was only against merchandising of the characters. With the exception of the pissing sticker I'm sure, as long as you're using the media in good faith I think he'd probably be okay with it? Didn't know the man
When there are already so many alternatives why not just use another meme template instead? You dont need to recreate this one just cuz you dont like the guy
You're missing the verbal/emotional abuse of his (pregnant) wife
Your username makes me happy. I approve
See? This guy's got it.
He is also a fascist
He thinks wives should be the property of their husbands.
You're not missing out. The guy is top tier gross. But, just better to not use his meme.

Are you talking about Drake from Drake & Josh?
Drake the music artist. Commonly used in the template with somebody saying no to one thing but yes to another to put it simply.
Ohhh, that guy. Okay, thanks, I had no idea that guy was in a meme.
This is a terrific substitute, which I believe everyone could get behind.
Genuinely bugs me every time I see the meme. Even just referencing it feels like a tribute, but I get it's pretty entrenched at this point.
I always disliked that meme template after I learned more about that guy
if we can turn hitler into a meme, we can turn him into a meme.
What would Watterson think of this co-opting though?
Yeah, he'd definitely like this better.

For real. I instinctively downvote anything with the Crowder format even when I agree with the sentiment. Thank you for your service.
I had no idea it was Crowder but I'll probably do the same now.
At least 90% of the time it's not even a meme, just an opinion
Yeah it always bugged me that everyone uses that meme
Thank. You.
I propose replacing OG Steve with Steve Crowder, a known scumbag.
I absolutely love this
I prefer knowing Steve Crowder as the clueless meme guy, it takes some of his credibility away
You lost me at adopting this meme format right there. At least Steven Crowder is in good ol' 80% compression JPG.
Capitalists don't deserve anything

On the contrary, if you don't like something, work to change it for the better
And in that respect, I commend OP for a much better option, but we'd probably want a blank and the font to make more of them.
