Pepe went the way of the swastika, and it's truly sad. ๐ญ
Pepe is too general to be taken over by a group as a symbol. I hate when ppl just concede Pepe away like that. Fuck those normies (and ofc nazis as well).
Akin to "oh no, that nazi is eating freedom fries, has a USA tattoo, and is wearing a shirt - all of those things separately are now the undisputed universal symbols of Nazism!!".
Seriously, people saying that about pepe here reminds me of conservatives saying video games are the problem. It's like come on, I don't think the 19 year old woman streaming stardew valley on twitch to 12 people and posting okayge in chat even knows what a 4chan is lol
To be fair, I tend to think most people on lemmy are old enough to remember You're The Man Now Dog and think of Twitch as that site their son uses. They don't really know either.
Do not despair
Fun fact I have the exact type of pin as is on that hat. I actually have three of them, damn do I love surplus stores.
I have the red star (no laurels). It came attached to a really warm hat at a thrift store.
Be a lot cooler if you had a pin of Pepe wearing that pin.
Which dweeb was showing off his pin right before he was punched in the face? Also I will note I get them for free since I bought a great coat and an entrenchment tool and they just kinda wanted them gone.
Lmao no he didn't, what?
