Guys, why did this frog become popular?

[-] Jackinopolis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago

Pepe the frog is from the Boys Club, a comic or children's book; I don't know, it just had a couple talking animals. The first picture of him with the feels good man caption was very silly and took off from there. Unfortunately pepe became a hate symbol after 15 years.

Pepe has a weird history. I hate that people used him for hate because he's just a silly little guy. I don't know if he's still viewed as such in popular culture.

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

I've heard that a lot, but never seen it used "for hate". What if we just take him back?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

You're lucky to not have been exposed to those people.

But yes. Take him back by making him cute

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

Pepe is SUPER racist. Peepo is kinda just doin his best.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Ah man that fuckin sucks I loved that stupid little face

peepo originated from the Holocaust-denying capital N Nazi-loving frenworld subreddit i think

Edit: nvm, I am wrong, he was used extensively there as a mascot but originated elsewhere
