SPCR

"'April 27th is the day I, the Raw Messiah, rode forth to the SMTN and bestowed the first gift to our people.' -Dylan Brashears"The SPCR, created on April 27th, 2015 by group member Dylan Brashears, is a cult dedicated to podcast host Spencer Pressly. The first post mentioning the cult was written on April 27 by Alejandro Beale. It was the picture of Spencer's face we all know and love with the caption: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!". Since then, 24 posts have been made in the facebook group mentioning the cult in some way or another. Starting when Dylan changed his profile picture to THE picture of Spencer in protest of him changing his profile picture, many followed suit, resulting in mass confusion and hysteria throughout the group in the few passing days after the conception of the cult. This is where the peak of Spencer memes was, with many being created with "The Picture" as a way to remember how beautiful it once was. Sparked from the ashes of the first conception, SPCR was rebirthed twice: On May 22nd, 2015, and four months later, on September 22nd, 2015, when Spencer changed his profile pictures yet again.

When inquired on what the acronym "SPCR" stood for, Dylan responded with: "It literally just stands for Spencer, but it looks hella ominous". I later added what I thought it stood for, "Spencer Pressly Central Republic" and Dylan agreed, stating: "Yeah, as far as I know, it is just that. It is a reference however to a boss of some sort in the SMT franchise (name/abbreviation escapes me atm), but yeah". His word choice here also brings up the notion that the name is inspired by the common antagonist in Shin Megami Tensei games, YHVH.
