| I don't know why I have to make everything competitive, but the Meme Jihad t-shirt won by quite a large margin as well. | |
| So good job, Philippe. | |
| Really like the design. | |
| So I've prepared the winners for this round. | |
| The first one is this one by Harun Sikhan. | |
| I don't know why this looks so good on the t-shirt, but I just really like the way it looks. | |
| I think it looks really cool. | |
| And so I thought I'd include that. | |
| I mean, it could be the T-shirt of a band or something, couldn't it? | |
| So it's not particularly, it's not particularly outrageous. | |
| And I say that because the other winners might get you into trouble, I guess. | |
| So this design is actually a restricted design. | |
| And only veterans of the Great Meme War are allowed to buy this. | |
| So you're basically on your honor not to buy this if you're not a shit poster. | |
| So this is exclusively for those people who have been online in the comments section shitposting and making the arguments and actually debating out. | |
| If you weren't involved in the Great Meme War, I have to say you're not allowed to buy this. | |
| I know that's an interesting business strategy, but I've never been a good businessman. | |
| And this one looks okay on like cups, and I thought stickers might also be useful with this one as well. | |
| And again, I've put on like a bunch of arbitrary colors because I honestly don't know what colors would be good for this. | |
| But the thing is, because it's quite dark, I had to use fairly light colours. | |
| Otherwise, you couldn't see the autistic screeching of the hand sign in the milk very well. | |
| But yeah, this is an exclusive t-shirt that's only for a select group of people, and those people will know who they are. | |
| Right, and the final t-shirt is the one that's actually going to get you into trouble. | |
| I think that if you turned up on a university campus wearing a t-shirt that I have named toxic feminism, you're probably going to get in trouble. | |
| So I'm just warning you now, if you did happen to want to really piss off some feminists, this might be the way to do it. | |
| And I think this is quite an important meme as well. | |
| And because I appreciate that the yellow might be a bit bright. | |
| I mean, there are the bright colours, but the thing is, with the dark logo, you have to have a bright background. | |
| So I did a bright logo with a dark background by just inverting the colours because I literally cannot Photoshop for shit. | |
| I'm just saying, you could put a toxic feminism sticker anywhere. | |
| So this was sent over by Yo-Yo Vivi, which was the name they wanted to be known by. | |
| But I think they actually raise quite an interesting proposition with this. | |
| If a feminist reacts negatively to this, you can challenge them on being a toxic feminist. | |
| And they're probably, if they're not like a raging SJW, which they might not be, they might just be, you know, a regressive feminist who believes in all this nonsense, but they might not be, you know, necessarily bad people and certainly wouldn't want to consider themselves bad people. | |
| You can say, well, you're not a toxic feminist, are you? | |
| Of course I'm not a toxic feminist. | |
| It's like, okay, then I'm not talking. | |
| Then the shirt isn't about you. | |
| You know the sort of feminists I'm talking about. | |
| And they will know the sort of feminists you're talking about. | |
| I mean, you could call them TERFs or you could call them whatever. | |
| But the point is, you have the fracture in their mind between feminism as a monolith and parts of feminism that are actually toxic. | |
| And they are genuinely the past that we need to basically isolate and make sure that the re- I mean, I would rather deal with reasonable feminists who just had backwards or irrational beliefs that I could then reason them out of than have them joined in with the screeching ideologues who can't be reasoned with, but will fight the fight for the moderates or the sort of the non-SJW types. | |
| I mean honestly, do you see them not freaking the fuck out about this? | |
| But the thing is, remember, feminism is an ideology. | |
| There are definitely toxic elements within it. | |
| You've done nothing wrong by wearing the shirt. | |
| Fact, this is a pertinent political statement and that's why this one is the winner, because it's just so goddamn provocative I couldn't pass it up. | |
| I couldn't pass it up. | |
| It was just one of those things where it's like, Christ, this is going to be so fucking triggering. | |
| So, like before, I'll leave a link in the description and these will be available for a week and yo-yo vivi, I will send you your prize money across shortly. | |
| Thanks for watching everyone and to everyone who bought t-shirt, thanks very much. | |
| Oh, one more thing. | |
| The shop has to have duplicates of everything in it, depending on whether you're in Europe or America. | |
| Obviously, it's dependent on whether t-shirts are printed, I suppose, and then shipped. | |
| Because apparently people couldn't get the American shirts because they cost a fortune to ship over. | |
| So I've had to duplicate everything. | |
| So there's a European version and American version. | |
| You can tell because of the prices listed in dollars or whatever your local European currency is, mine is pounds. | |
| And once again, congratulations to the winners and everyone I featured. |
