Fuckkkk thatttt, pepe is still alive and well on twitch, and racists are not tolerated (at least in any of the channels I frequent). They can pry that frog from my cold, dead hands.
Yeah. I’m old and have been on the internet since well before the creation of both Pepe and based. That’s why I still use this term. I think we should try to reclaim these things - if we let them change our behavior, we lose.
I’ve slowly realized that many people on the internet use it casually, but like you, I always assumed they were alt-right (new main right) or libertarian at a minimum for a long time.
I know everyone uses this word now, but I’ll never think of anything except Nazis circa 2016.
:(
I’m sorry for triggering that association. A lot of internet culture has been co-opted by those jerks. I didn’t mean it that way.
They took the pepe frogs for a while too, but I’ve been seeing them come back. Nature is healing.

Based.
But seriously the guy who drew that frog was just a cartoonist and he was appalled that it became a hate symbol. I hope he sees it redeemed.
Didn’t he kill that character off for that very reason?
I’m glad people are reclaiming him finally. He was never a racist symbol.

No one can take the pepe frogs from us
Nah, I’m glad to know you didn’t know. I’m also glad I’m not alone.
…2016 will not be soon forgotten
I’ve tried to get my thinking to update, but I too just think Nazi when I see it.

It was taken away from the alt-right, this is a good thing.
It’s been an internet thing for long before 2016 (at least mid 00s in my memory), so I don’t associate it with them.
