Pepe was coopted by the far right in 2016 or so for annoying political shitposts. It was sad because pepe is a great meme and the value of my rare and super-rare foil pepe collection plummeted immediately afterwards.
Now there are stories and photos going around of people dressed in big inflatable frog suits protesting against ICE in Portland and I guess it’s become the symbol of a movement. Frogs are cool again.
Can confirm, there were many inflatable frog people, frog signs, Kermit the frog puppets and just people in head to to green at the protest in SF Bay Area today.
Well yes, technically. But does that mean we should pass up this golden opportunity to reclaim a meme icon nobody ever really stopped using in the first place?
If I’m following correctly…

I was never onboard with giving pepe to the Nazis. Pepe transcends.
no one was. I had like half a gig of rare pepes
I might have to change my username soon.
Looks like you came to the wrong frog fight!
But I created this wanting to fight Pepes ::insert sad pepe face::
I have also been seeing a lot of very nice MILF shirts in all different colours getting around in my part of Australia.

Ok so the post is misleading because those frog costumes and related memery are not pepe references

Yeah i mean worse things have been done on the grounds of fabricated connections. Just don’t invade Iraq or whatever.
It’s just jarring and feels like engagement bait when it’s so clearly not the same thing.
