    I don’t know who this man is, I used to know, but I don’t care anyway. If he’s such a bigot, it seems fine that his legacy is reduced to a meme, doesn’t it?

      Why grant him a legacy at all? Especially since the original of that meme is a tool of his bigotry.

        The only people keeping his legacy alive are those who incessantly bitch about the meme template. Without you, he would just be the “‘change my mind’ meme guy.”

          I don’t understand your logic there. Being the “‘change my mind’ meme guy” is a legacy. Using the meme template is keeping the legacy alive. Even if it was just the response to the meme keeping his legacy alive, then surely you wouldn’t use the meme template anyway, so they have nothing to respond to?

          This is assuming you DON’T want him to be easily searched by people wanting to know more about the meme, thus exposing them to his hateful rhetoric, of which the original meme is a blatant example.
