If you have a comfy/cozy/welcoming community but use pepe/peepo/monka etc emotes then you're not comfy or welcoming. It's not a debate & not up to interpretation. It's been adopted by hate groups and the creator has even stated there is no reclaiming it.
It's labeled a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Reference: TW (racism/hateful imagery) adl.org/resources/hate…
@Ryan_Not_Lyin I just want to add: while the article says “because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. " It can act as a dog whistle and suggest your community is safe for those who share bigoted views.
@Ryan_Not_Lyin Wait what? I knew nothing of this 😭
@Ryan_Not_Lyin I've tried to tell some people this for YEARS
@Ryan_Not_Lyin You didn't read the article did you?
@Ryan_Not_Lyin i have been trying to figure out how to remove it from my channel but i completely forget how to use all the free emote things i added years ago.
