This is an interesting video:
This first meme of 2020 is here, and it’s “New Guy.” The short form: an SJW “cartoonist” has a strip with a self-insert of the author portraying the petty evil that SJWs so often display, and completely failed to understand that she was indeed showing herself, her self-insert character and their joint worldview as mean spirited. And as a result, the rest of the internet has glommed onto the character she was trying to make fun of and have turned him into a symbol of what’s good and just.
The video goes into this and the resulting online kerfuffle, including how the cartoonist has wholly and utterly failed to take this as an opportunity for self reflection. Additionally the video describes how SJWs so often identify with evil and villains, including, and rather startlingly, Pennywise the Demonic Homicidal Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror Clown. This is not a new thing, of course… SJWs have been wearing Che shirts and celebrating Antifa and the Soviet Union and Mao and Jihadis for *years.* That they would also identify with the likes of Vice Admiral Holdo and other fictional villains is hardly surprising, never mind Bernie and Bubbles and Swalwell and all the others who would bring gulags, pogroms, death camps, food riots, famine and civil war to the United States.
New Guy, created specifically to be a stupid, mockable strawman, is the wholesome and sincere meme we need in these dark times. See more at Know Your Meme.
New Guy definitely deserves to be my first sketch of 2020!
Just remember, if New Guy can survive purple-haired gremlins, you can get through anything! He believes in you! Especially to all my artist friends or my friends working hard jobs, keep up your great work! pic.twitter.com/tE8cqYtabe
