First time I see the name, had to search it. To me, it is just a “change my mind” meme with no relevance as to which person is in it.
I say we lose the entire Crowder meme format. The "change my mind" bit was from one of his stunts, and this is just keeping it alive longer
There's still many other meme formats that send the same message, we don't need to sully Calvin's image by associating it with a Crowder stunt
It only keeps it alive for those who know it. I had no idea who that dude was or where it was from.
Without something like this, I could have gone my whole life not knowing who he was or his opinions. I bet most people are in that boat. Also, it's not like he makes money from the meme format.
Not really sure what's gained from changing it.

Maybe the change my mind meme should just be avoided entirely rather than creating a replacement as it's just giving the bigot more publicity and letting more people know thier name when you complain about it being used rather than the replacement.
I love posts like this for a very special reason.
