    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.
