I'm sure there's drama going on over it somewhere.

Wait 'till he copyright strikes Reddit.

That already happened and TD had to remove that annoying Pepe 'subscribe now' overlay and replaced it with an equally annoying Trump 'subscribe now' overlay.

Article for anyone interested in reading about it. I heard that he was going to do something, but I didn't realize he'd actually taken legal action. He's apparently issued cease-and-desist orders to Richard Spencer and Mike Cernovich (عليهما لعنة الله) too.
I thought this was pretty funny:

When a gator kills a baby no one calls it a radical, cause it's obvious that all of them are dangerous animals

1) Nothing better than a self-quote, well done
2) Are the gays, or the islams, the gator in this analogy?
1 Scummy_mofo 2017-12-16
I think xhe means "gator' as in gamergater
Pretty sure it was sarcastic but I may be giving too much credit to their intelligence.

When a gator kills a baby no one calls it a radical
'Cause it's obvious that all of them are dangerous animals
The handwriting has been on the wall, clear and legible
Now we got a muzzy turning fruits into vegetables
It was a great night, it was a Homocaust
Bona fide homocide, 50 lives lost
No Pulse, just Blood on the Dance Floor
Now the fags are more butthurt than before
Look here, a muslim walks into a bar And orders shots for everybody, hardy har har
And he should've killed more but he was not a straight shooter
Almost makes you wanna cry like that bitch Anderson Cooper
It's a tragedy, too many faggots got away
So instead of Islam they're gonna die from AIDS
If survivors wanna feel guilty, that's their prerogative
But I really hope they all remain HIV positive
The majority of victims were spics
Taking loads in the face, but this time not from dicks
Some had trouble deciding which bathroom to hide in
They weren't sure if their gender matched the one they died in
49 faggots and 1 dune coon
Rig the SIG, pop the Glock, and shoot for the Moon
Sandniggers pulling triggers, yeah it's something to see
They may be ignorant savages but they're working for me
I said, 49 faggots and 1 dune coon
Rig the SIG, pop the Glock, and shoot for the Moon
Sandniggers pulling triggers, yeah it's something to see
They may be ignorant savages but they're working for me
Listen, all you see are lies on tv
But you know you can believe it if you hear it from me
False claims, false flags on the internet too
And the mouthpiece behind it all is guess who? The jew
You can't trust the mainstream media
Undeniable, they're less reliable than Wikipedia
The dude was a troll and libs took the bait
Now it's gun control in a police state
He said he was ISIS but ISIS never heard of him
He said he had no problem with niggers while he murdered them
He said he was hetero with semen in his farts
It's the sjw culture tearing itself apart
If DC's the brain then Disney's the heart
If PC's the plan, the pigs play the part
Leave a muzzy in a bathroom, let him throw some darts
Like shooting apples in a barrel or a shopping cart
49 faggots and 1 dune coon
Rig the SIG, pop the Glock, and shoot for the Moon
Sandniggers pulling triggers, yeah it's something to see
They may be ignorant savages but they're working for me
That's right, 49 faggots and 1 dune coon
Rig the SIG, pop the Glock, and shoot for the Moon
Sandniggers pulling triggers, yeah it's something to see
They may be ignorant savages but they're working for me
The libtards are having a hard time with this
They wanna blame Whitey but it's hard to miss
That the shooter was a muslim and a faggot at that
And like most mass shooters he was a democrat
Packing shit, packing heat, smoking fags indoors
And the jews' news says he got a new high score
But that's only 'cause my crimes tend to go unrecorded
When I kill a thousand niggers it just isn't reported
I'm killing niggers, I'm killing niggers (Please stop)
I'm killing faggots, I'm killing faggots (Please stop)
I'm killing spics, killing spics, killing spics
And I'm killing mudslimes who like to suck dicks
49 faggots and 1 dune coon
Rig the SIG, pop the Glock, and shoot for the Moon
Sandniggers pulling triggers, yeah it's something to see
They may be ignorant savages but they're working for me
49 faggots and 1 dune coon
Rig the SIG, pop the Glock, and shoot for the Moon
Sandniggers pulling triggers, yeah it's something to see
They may be ignorant savages but they're working for me
This is Moonman here
Telling you queers, greasy wetbacks, and sandniggers to take a long walk off a short pier
Vote 50 faggots, and I'm out of here

That's a thing you can do. Imagr was also hit with copyrighted memes that they had to take down.
1 Imgur_Lurker 2017-12-16
What
The only Memes Imgur removes are Offensive ones like "The Gif" or Grandmas shitposts about Muhammad being a pedophile
Like you know you can look at https://imgur.com/r/pepe
https://i.imgur.com/4PfOUt7.jpg
Of course I don't expect anyone who is retarded enough to post on reddit to understand Imgur, our Memes are streets ahead
https://i.imgur.com/PoiSlDW.png
I'm sure Tumblr memes are more your speed
1 rewind45 2017-12-16
Nope, for example you cant post the original scumbag stact because of copyright, that's one example.

Or ones that get hit with a DMCA, because part of the DMCA is instally removing the DMCA'd content.

But it's peak adult to go online and reeeeeeee for freeeeeee about a dmca takedown of a cartoon frog.
Copyrights are farther to the left than stalins crooked penis.
Just some of the choice commentary from the top minds over in pcgamer's comment section.

how do people actually use "kekistan" unironically and not feel a deep, suicidal sense of shame
then again these people also loved ajit pai's net neutrality vid so it's entirely possible they don't feel any
1 shallowm 2017-12-16
Why stick to just using it on the internet when you can use it in real life?

Really explains the alt-right's fixation on Greco-Roman culture.

I have seen one of these in real life. Along with a guy walking around with a sign saying "CNN IS ISIS". It's kind of like going to the zoo, except if you live in the right city then the zoo comes to you.
1 thesnakeinthegarden 2017-12-16
Wait... if stalin is on the left, but his penis is crooked, wouldn't that make stalin's penis more right than the left of him? Or does that make his penis alt-left?
