As if "Pepe is nazi now" was not more culture war bullshit.
Pretending the meme wasn't being used in a large part by /pol/ scum is cope
Pretending Pepe wasn't a bigger proponent of Twitch culture is cope.
Pepe was just used by all terminally online people.
oh ny god shut up you werent there then. you dont know what hes talking about. there was a solid like decade of that. I know, i was in the proto altright edgy teen to communist tranny pipeline
I wasn't on /pol/, that's right. I preferred to watch war videos on live leak without any comments on.
Pepe was bloody everywhere, acting like your corner of the internet was special in that regard is just lacking perspective. Memes spread through internet spaces, terminally online people interact with a slew of other terminally online people. Which then spread any funny or cool idea on to others.
Normie's aka mainstream media just didn't interact with pepe before they started reporting on events happening on /pol/. And coined it a 4chan exclusive, because they didn't care about any other corner online
Because it's an internet meme, not because it's a nazi symbol. Pretending they owned it in any way is just stupid

They tried to take pepe frogs like they did the OK gesture.
Ooh is that over yet? I loved the OK gesture! It's better than thumbs-up because that can also mean "let's swim upwards" or "sit on my dick" in some contexts.
