    They took the pepe frogs for a while too, but I’ve been seeing them come back. Nature is healing.

      Fuckkkk thatttt, pepe is still alive and well on twitch, and racists are not tolerated (at least in any of the channels I frequent). They can pry that frog from my cold, dead hands.

        Based.

        But seriously the guy who drew that frog was just a cartoonist and he was appalled that it became a hate symbol. I hope he sees it redeemed.

        I’m glad people are reclaiming him finally. He was never a racist symbol.

      Yeah. I’m old and have been on the internet since well before the creation of both Pepe and based. That’s why I still use this term. I think we should try to reclaim these things - if we let them change our behavior, we lose.
