600 AD I just saved another Aristotle's work from destruction Good job, we can't let such a brilliant author die just because he was a pagan 2021 AD THIS ARTIST SAID THE N WORD WHEN HE WAS 10 WE CAN NO LONGER ENJOY HIS WORK NOOOOOOOOO

The meme contrasts a medieval ruler preserving Aristotle’s work despite his pagan beliefs with modern people rejecting an artist’s entire body of work because he used a racial slur as a child. The punchline mocks cancel culture and the perceived inconsistency between valuing historical works despite their creators’ beliefs and condemning contemporary artists for past offenses.
