ye, im tired of losing memes to fascist assholes. at this point nobody even cares about pepes association anymore, you can just use all the pepes you want and you probably wont even get shit for it. you have nothing to lose apart from upvotes which are worthless to begin with. its completely free to reclaim all the symbols you want. its like the meaning of words, just a matter of popularity.
idk, I remember liking the pepe meme in the before times, but I've been classically conditioned against it since.
Pepe has been reclaimed!
Still feel like I usually see him around right wing stuff
Maybe? I watch lots of Twitch and he's there just doing Pepe/Peepo things.
Peep =/ clown pepe. Pepe is still widely used but clown pepe has stopped being used sadly.
I must be out of the loop, what is wrong with pepe aside from having strong links to 4chan?
There was a surge of qnon junkies using pepe but idk if that kept going or not
Nothing except for that really. People just like to twist reality like
Pepe > 4chan > known for weirdos = Using Pepe means you are a literal Nazi
Nevermind the fact that half the fucking internet was using pepes in completely innocent ways.
The core of the problem is/was the ADL (Anti Defamation League) which likes to pretend they have the authority to proclaim anything and everything as a hatespeech symbol because like 7 people used it in a racist context.
With the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict they have lost basically all credibility and are now considered an unreliable source by Wikipedia editors.
It wasn't pepe by itself, it was the clown pepe which was widely used in twitter and the like, before it became a fascist shithole.
Also reddit, r/frenworld, r/clownworld, r/honkler, and the dozens of subs created for ban evasion.
Super racist, sometimes thinly veiled.
