This meme originated from a photograph of conservative podcaster Steven Crowder sitting behind a table at Texas Christian University in February 2018. The original sign read 'Male Privilege is a Myth / Change My Mind,' part of a segment for his show where he invited students to debate contentious topics. The image quickly went viral on Twitter and Reddit as a versatile 'exploitable' template, where users replace the original text with unpopular opinions, weird facts, or niche fandom debates. It has since become the definitive visual shorthand for presenting a 'hot take' and inviting others to challenge it in a humorous or satirical way.
