Honestly I don't even buy that the far right owned pepe in the first place.

International folks seem to have no idea of that. It seems to be a largely American held belief that somehow pepes are as good as swastikas.

I completely agree! The far right didn't own him, but they did use his image very frequently.

My point being what was never claimed does not need to be reclaimed.

Hell, the frog poster doesn't even look like a pepe.

If you want to use a frog, use a frog. It doesn't have nazi connotations.
