It's made up BS. Most of the conservatives using pepe avatars don't even know wtf fuentes is. I can confirm because I'm one of those people who wears a pepe the frog mask on forums. The left-wing and MSM hate that conservatives have this mask to anonymize themselves with and they're trying to peg them all to a white nationalist is an attempt to discredit and take down the entire group.
Well it's not going to work. I'm going to keep posting conservative things behind a pepe avatar. You can call me whatever you want. Say I'm a follower of fuentes, or hitler, or satan, or devour the souls of the innocent like cthulhu. I don't care. I'm still gonna wear my frog mask.
You...wear a mask? On forums? So that people can't see you while you're posting...? What are you talking about?
"The left hates us because we're frog furries" is one of the takes of all time.
There it is... Best comment I'll read all day.
I think people hate right-wingers because they commit so much more violence on average. Like, by a factor of like 700%.
Why do you side with such violent people?
Haha.. yes, the Pepe mask is for conservatives "to anonymize themselves", even though the forums and platforms they're already on are already anonymous?
Don't kid yourself - its just a virtue signal to the conservative racist ingroup that you're one of them. Its a 'safe space hat'.
You reply to some random repost of a Twitter comment that its all part of an evil leftist MSM plot to get rid of the Pepe avatars but you're standing proud in defiance? Nobody is trying to get rid of them - they're handy identifiers for trolls and chuds. But yeah, uh.. great speech. Preach. Keep your cute frog mask!
Wow your just dumb or racist. Ain't no two ways about it. Guess it's confessional time.
Look, i agree with you; but please check your spelling before you call someone dumb online.
The lowercase "i" has me weeping babes.
[I get that.] I turned auto correct off years ago and cant be bothered to hit shift most of the time. Besides, im not calling anyone stupid.
"im" still has me actually smiling. Yeah, sort of. You're giving prescriptive advice, which is what's giving me the giggles. It's funny.
Idk. Imo, the spelling of words matters much more than punctuation and capitalization. "Your" and "you're" have wildly different meanings. If i understand the marriam-webster definition of prescriptivism correctly, it pertains more to the spelling and cultural understanding of the word. Perscriptivism would be saying that what they said was blatantly wrong; which i didnt do. But calling someone stupid while mispelling the main subject of the sentence is pretty ironic and happens a lot.
[For instance: M-W uses the words irregardless and regardless for their example. For this specific scenario, i would say ur is better than your]
But i can just take my stupid elsewhere i suppose (get it? Lol)
Poor Pepe didn't deserve to be turned into a hate symbol. Now all my rare Pepes are worthless.
When the only redeeming quality of your speech is that it is free, then your speech is also worthless. Using the pepe avatar is just the discount sticker making it easier to spot.
