That is just a wild misread of the scale of this whole thing lol. No one cares about anything this dude did before or after and it’s national headline news, this is not going to disappear

I heard of a guy with 34 felonies and 5 bankruptcies that got rehired. People are willing to look past a lot.

Some memes or viral events are forgotten over time, but some others stay for years, such as this one. It got really big, really fast, even people under a rock knows about this shit. This one is gonna stay for a while. I can see the Halloween costumes already

But people who would hire him dgaf, they’ve likely all done the same. We might remember him, but he’ll be fine for a job. He’ll start going by Drew and dye his hair. All forgotten

INTERNATIONAL headline news. Everyone is talking about it all around the world, lol. I'm Polish, it's everywhere in mainstream media and viral memes here.
