Pepe the Frog meme branded a 'hate symbol'

#1

This is getting ridiculous. I didn't even know who or what Pepe the Frog was until I clicked on the story. Now yet another inanimate object, which has no opinion, thought or position on anything, is being considered 'hateful' because it is being used by folks for whatever their cause is. It is now considered a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League alongside the swastika and the KKK's "Blood Drop Cross". 

 

Story

 

The anti-bigotry group said "racists and haters" had "taken a popular internet meme and twisted it".

Pepe has recently been depicted as Adolf Hitler and a member of the white supremacist KKK.

 
Pepe made his debut in 2005 in artist Matt Furie's "Boy's Club" cartoons. Since then, pictures of the creature have spread through the online communities 4chan, 8chan, and Reddit, where users can post an image for others to comment on.

 
These are mostly used to express emotions or experiences, but some racist and anti-Semitic versions have spread virally on Facebook and Twitter.

 
There are two Trump depictions that were used and shown in the article.

Some people just need something to [BLEEP] about.  It must make them feel better or something.

You're being racist.  Only black and red is represented.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I  think a reddit post summed it up best


 

Quote: 

Think of 4chan like a gigantic decentralized modern art museum, that has very few rules about what makes good 'art'. In fact, people are even free to duplicate other peoples' artwork and mutate it into something else entirely, resulting in the continuous evolution of innovative content. Pepe is a common leitmotif that runs throughout the ouevre of many 4chan 'artists', and is constantly reused. And yet, most of these Pepe pieces are completely tame. However, since the rules are very lax at this museum, some pieces of art do indeed shock the average observer. Including some that feature the Pepe motif. But that's art for you. What the mainstream media and now HRC's campaign have done is point to this small minority of shocking pieces and declared the entire museum, all the artists featured there, and all of its visitors and patrons as racists on the basis of only the shock art.

Some people are happiest when complaining. Keeps their mind of their own miserable existence. There is some scientific sociological expression for it - escapes me at the moment. Something something sympathy or whatever.


Ps - yes I get the irony of somebody here complaining that somebody else somewhere is complaining. Like we all have complaints and only certain limited places to post them.

He called someone Miss Piggy and was ousted from the industry.  Rachel Maddow & Chris Matthews carried the story on MSNBC for a week.
