Dude. Ya'll remember when the "smalling memes" first came out to national attention? I do. Bad Touch Joe's response? To expressly walk through a crowd and go Bad Touch some girl in an audience of Hispanics. I know exactly what memetic he was trying to do.

Control the narrative. "This isn't creepy, fuck you. Watch. You won't control me. I'll normalize this. Etc" Mergh! I can't find the article, guess you're gonna have to take my word on it. Or not. I couldn't believe it. And the picture for the story had people turning all the way around in their chairs looking, like, "wtf is this dude doing? Is he crazy? That's exactly what they're talking about Has he not heard??" And those were, presumably, his supporters!
