Oh come on now, don't act like millennials and Gen X didn't grow up with Liveleak
There's not much of a comparison, between the universality of smartphones and how much of it's rooted in genuine hatred of the person or how it's all downstream of the effort to completely tarnish his memory. 9/11 jokes were huge online in the 00's, but that was mostly self-depreciatory given how many of the people doing them were Americans who had clear memories of 9/11.
Also, one of the frustrating things about Kirk memes is that, as dorky as Charlie could be, he actually had a sense of humor about himself. One of his last twitter PFP's was Eric Cartman as him, from the episode where he was explicitly parodied. In another universe, I could see Kirkification being akin to JD Vance memes, something largely done by his supporters (and with him still being alive). I can 100% see him finding many of the edits funny and retweeting them or even using them as his PFP's. With their ubiquity, I feel like many people who don't hate him look at them in that way now, and that's how I tried to look at a lot of them for a time. But I've been finding them tainted again given the obsessive hatred of him hasn't wavered at all, so it's hard to get around how they're still often made by people who want anyone who doesn't suck every tranny's shirveled HRT dick to be murdered on camera/niggers.
In what way?
Their reputation is obviously in decline.
I mean, people are getting more and more racist, but negrophilia is still huge, particularly among non-RW zoomers of all kinds. Zoomers still love rap. Kendrick Lamar is the greatest musical artist of all time to them. Ishowspeed is the funniest person in the world to them (I've seen zoomers from Korea, southeast asia etc. spamming him). Charlie Kirk's murder was so funny because his last words were about how violent niggers are. Etc. Etc.
Speaking of niggers and trannies a nigger killed a tranny university student and troons who mocked kirk are blaming a TPUSA detransitioner who wanted to speak at that university in Washington
Also conservative reporters are “deadnaming” the tranny and the troons are losing their brains over it they are the most fragile and volatile individuals they want to mock you but self destruct when you use their former name and say they are male
Yeah, out the gate they were claiming he was killed due to "transphobia" and haven't wavered on that even after it's come out the lightskin apparently sued over "LGBT discrimination" himself, with still no confirmed motive. While much of the mockery is due to the atmosphere leftists have created since Charlie (and how trannies probably hate him the most), it's also simply because they're so steadfast on it being a trans hate crime with no evidence. They're painting a target on their back because of that alone, but they won't waver on that because trannies are all insane narcissists.
And I also had no idea just how sacrilegious "deadnaming" without consent for them was until now, or atleast that their parents did it after their murder or whatever. Good to keep in mind!
