A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Well... He did more than that...
He also would join up with one of the male writers (who eventually got fired for sexual harassment stuff) specifically to team up against the female writers.
He was also extremely disrespectful of all of the female members of the crew. It got so bad he was fired from the Witcher AND the DCU movies.
Like yes... He cared a lot about the source material and so he fought for it... But the only people he fought were women and the only people he became friends with were sexually harassing women.
Edit: I'd seen this all multiple places before but doing a quick search here is a source on the most recent round of Netflix and superman stuff

Personally I think a lot of this is overblown. Specifically the not wanting shirtless scenes and stuff is a personal thing that's up to the comfort of the actor. The bits I don't like are harassing women and his previous comments about the MeToo movement which make me far more likely to believe the current accusations against him.
Edit 2:
Hmmmm you got some primary sources for those claims? Not saying you are wrong. It's just the first time I've heard this.
He’s missing the “controversy” section on his Wikipedia. Which is my litmus test of how big are your red flags
Huh? So a lack of mention of controversy with sources to back it up is a red flag to you? Weird.
No, you're reading that backwards somehow. A lack of controversy section shows that there are no good sources and the red flags are not that big.
You’re right, apologies.
Yeah, that Gene Wilder is an asshole because he doesn't have "controversy" in his wiki.
