Nah, virtue signaling is perfect here. Someone posts a meme including hulk hogan, normal people don’t see him even a little more positively than they previously did, and you come in here acting like he’s being praised. You’re making an obvious straw man argument and sticking your nose up in the process. And then regurgitate talking points without considering if it’s actually applicable.

No dude, I'm not saying he's being praised, I'm saying he's continuing being iconicized. This is simple fact. Icons matter. And beyond that, it's fucking lame as hell, on tier with fucking John Cena jokes, the most tired and lame shit on the internet.

It's a shit meme featuring a shit person and it deserves to be shit on.
