    They were stolen from the people of the internet by the far right. It’s up to the internet to take them back. Even the original creator was very upset about what had become of his little frog.

      He fucking fought it though. Anyone who hasn’t seen it should watch the documentary Feels Good Man. It’s pretty cool how far the author went to save Pepe

    Because strangely, the one opinion is considered more radical than the other, certainly in certain circles.

      Pepe has a complicated history. I don’t think it reached that level though, IMHO

        Its not all that complicated. Two of the three major points are linked in this thread. He was a chill member of Boys Club and repurposed into a whack of memes. Trump Pepe was added to the deplorables poster and the right wing grabbed him as a symbol. Matt Furie fought back and we are slowly reclaiming a silly frog.

    4chan is awesome precisely because you can go from a post advocating for a second holocaust to a post in support of bike lanes

      You just have to dodge the pedos and the military psyops and the government psyops and the ones running Epstein’s estate and the racists and the psychopaths and the incels and the bots, but after all that you might just see something that’ll make you exhale briskly out of your nose in mirth.
