Pepe went the way of the swastika, and it's truly sad. 😭

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!!".

It should be a war crime to explain to my mother what a groyper is, what "OWO" is and how to pronounce it.

I don't think I understand any of what's being said here. Don't know the term, don't know the references being made in the post.

Wait till you read about the meme wars. This goes deeper than most people know.

How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (9 children)

It's pronounced 'race-ist'.

I've no idea what this means, but if they're just racist PoS I don't think I care about nuance.

Basically Kirk was MAGA, the shooter was from a group called 'groypers' led by Nick Fuentes. There's an online meme 'persona' of sorts called Pepe, who I guess the groypers use as a mascot. Which is a shame as some of the Pepe content is pretty awesome. It's the punisher skull shit all over again. Anyway, infighting between facist groups, groypers being the more extreme far right group, which I didn't think was possible but here we are.

Basically racists got mad Pepe got reco-opted by democratic protestors in Hong Kong so they decided to make their own frog to put racist shit on, this is how a decent chunk of America passes the time.
