Any time I see pepe the frog ... I think "twat with pimples and zero life masturbating to pics of Elon."

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Pepe has been around when elon was still posing in a coat in front of a liberty sign.

and the swastika is ancient. that doesn't mean people using it in the West aren't usually dickheads.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

D.. did you just compare pepe to a swastika?

Is everything ok?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

yes, i did. and no, things are not ok. there's way too many outright Nazis and they love this stupid frog

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Yeah its clearly more similar to the iron cross

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.

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.
