What a terrible choice of character to represent the goals of this movement! I do wonder if the person who chose it was actually alive at the time of Clippy and fully understands how hated it really was. The idea anyone would want to “be like clippy” is utterly laughable to many of my generation.
The person who started the movement (Louis Rossman) was and does. The person who made this website maybe wasn't and does not. The phrase "be like Clippy" really doesn't fit what the "movement" is about and seems to be the source of the confusion on this thread.
The choice of Clippy makes sense if you watch the original video. It's not suggesting that Clippy is something we should strive for again. It's meant to show that while we thought Clippy was horrible and anti-user then, just compare it to what we have now. Clippy wasn't "good", but infinitely more harmless in comparison.
