"Change My Mind"

This week's meme is Steven Crowder's "Change My Mind" campus sign. Crowder is a conservative that has a popular podcast and Youtube channel. He has a segment called "Change My Mind" in which he goes to college campuses and has people with different viewpoints sit down with him and try to change his mind about a particular political subject. On February 16th, 2018, Crowder tweeted a picture of himself at one of the events. He was sitting behind a sign that said “Male privilege is a myth / Change my mind." Here's the original tweet.

Soon afterwards, people began posting their own hilarious opinions on Crowder's sign.

I love this meme because of its infinite possibilities. You can put whatever you want on the sign, change Crowder into someone else, or have him seated next to a random person. I love all of the memes I've seen so far. When I first saw one, I didn't expect it to catch on, mainly because not everyone knows who Steven Crowder is. However, I guess this wasn't a factor in the meme's likability. Crowder's sign is literally a blank canvas, which is the perfect subject for a meme. Plus, this meme stemmed from a political discussion and is continuing the dialogue in meme form. I think this is great, but not to be taken too seriously.
