I mean if people were using my image and attributing my likeness to being a scumbag I would be pissed and want them all taken down, too. Even if it was entirely justified.

[-] blueskiesoc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Of course. Agreed.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yup. But also fun fact remember scumbag Steve? He was on the podcast endless thread, as well as his mom. It's from their season where they covered memes and I enjoyed this one as well as the woman yelling at cat eating salad.

The fact that some enjoys this fame, shouldn't force others to embrace it.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah definitely wasn't trying to make a case for it I was just sharing mildly related content I enjoyed. Not sure how it came across otherwise

[-] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

I didn’t know about this. What a scumbag move (but also completely understandable. I had for my image to live in the collective memory of the internet)

I think she was trying to be a model at the time or something. Im sure being a meme like Scumbag Stacy probably wasnt helping her career.

My God that voice.

Who is this? I missed this meme completely somehow lol

[-] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

I knew her by the name "Scumbag Stacy", the female companion to "Scumbag Steve", but I have no idea if that was her given name, or if we said that because it's alliterative.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

None of these memes used real names as far as I know. I think most of them started randomly through people finding the image online.

Yes. Here's an NSFW video of her from before she became Scumbag Stacy.

Edit: use this link istead for fewer ads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=737k83RsCfs&ab_channel=TallyValley

I clicked the link and was assaulted by dozens of ads and no video. Wtf is that cancer site

[-] blueskiesoc@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

My apologies. I have so many ad blockers that I don't see them and forget when I make recommendations.

Thanks so much. I forget that not everyone has adblockers.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

God that pissed me off so much. This lady is scumbag Karen.

[-] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean it is her image. And it’s not like it was a positive meme.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It's a meme. Scumbag Steve leaned into it and became a minor celebrity. So did scumbag Stacy the 2nd. Bad luck Brian had similar success. I think her vanity blinded her to the opportunities. But yes, I do agree it was her right.
