Honestly you’re not alone. This is the first I’ve heard to any extent that Pepe was used by racists at all. I’ve seen some pretty heartfelt animations using the likeness and no hint to any extent that racism was somehow attached to it.
Maybe I’m not chronically online enough or in whatever channels where whatever you’re talking about is going on as I’m not even sure where it is I would go to ‘go back and look’. Are there like entire communities sharing pepe memes or something?
Yeah. I figured as much. There’s still a lot of lurkers on Lemmy, and I assume that at least some of them have seen the comments and agreed at some extent.
Though, someone seems to be down voting comments around here. I dunno, I’m just some dude.
I’ve noticed a lot more down votes lately and I have no idea why. I still couldn’t give any less of a shit if I’m down voted or not, it’s just an interesting trend for my brain to look at.
I never made the association. Idk. Maybe I haven’t been looking carefully enough.
To be fair, I don’t seem to encounter a lot of racists, because I usually actively avoid them, and I also really haven’t used Pepe very much either.
There’s no lack of memes to replace Pepe, so I’m mostly unbothered by all of this.
I’ve been on the Internet too long to bother with every nuance of everything that’s going on. There’s way too much on here for me to care.

Jesus dude. Go back and look at all those pepe posts. Recognise the pattern

Have a good day friend.
whup, complaining about downboats or bragging about upvotes is an automatic downvote. Do I have to teach you EVERYTHING about Internetting??
Yup, I’ve noticed the same. You have a good one as well!
