Doesn't make it real. You can render whatever example you want for custom stickers just like a meme. It’s mashing the “easy” button in lieu of a photoshop. Someone made this as ragebait, and it should be treated as such. By your measure I could say I might print a meme as a sticker and now it’s “real” even if I don’t print it.
I've seen worse out in the wild. I absolutely know the types of people who would put this on their cars and think it's clever.
Sure. It could be real if someone printed it. But like I said, that means every printable image ever falls into the same category. It’s a waste of time to think about that. There are gonna be people that either really think what this says or simply slap it on a car to piss people off.
That’s a different rabbit hole. The subject at hand is a render (by default a render isn’t real, right?) designed to be ragebait. Looks like it’s pretty effective considering how many people want it to be real so they can be outraged.
