      Pepe might as well be Lemmy face now as widespread as it is. I see him used on steam profiles and Facebook friends who have zero connection to conservative anything. They just think he’s cute and usable in millions of ways.

      He is, admittedly.

            Seems like an apt comparison to me. The frog has been used by hard right extremist groups almost religiously, I say let it croak.

          The nazi symbol is always drawn in one way (卐). while the religious symbol can be drawn any direction, i usually see it the other way around (卍). could be that religious users want to distance themselves from shaved morons…

            most of the people that use it hatefully don’t know that and don’t care. it’s used both ways for hate, makes it really hard to differentiate.
