Hello World, Nothing as exciting as emojis, right? We would like to make it
easier for you to express yourselves, so we’ll be adding custom emojis to
Lemmy.World. The question is, which ones? Let’s pick together!
So, we’re reaching out to everyone with a Lemmy.World account: Please provide a
link to the image you’d like to suggest and upvote the ones you’d like to see!
The most upvoted emoji’s will, after review, be added to our list of custom
emojis. The emojis can be used by anyone on Lemmy.World in comments and posts.
I am aware of attempts to take back Pepe (and to try to appropriate “Groyper,” which was a mutation of Pepe specifically rooted in internet fascism), but the symbol still primarily stands for chanlord-style fascism.
It helps I think that Pepe’s original creator wants it taken back.
And i will say i think its casual use on nonfashy twitch streams helps take away its fashy power, but thats just me. I totally respect anyone who think its too far gone.
IP abolition would require so many other social and legal changes that it would probably be a moot point. Someone appropriating something for reactionary ends should be punished for those reactionary goals. Cynically using IP law against reactionaries is just using the tools currently available.
Yeah, you’re right. I guess what I meant is that it makes me want to be sure to not put the cart before the horse on IP abolition, IE do it before those social and legal changes are in place.
I want to be for complete and total IP abolition myself but at the moment I don’t actually know where I truly stand there. I’d hate it if something I created got turned into yet another nazi puppet.
Tbf, this piece on pixelcanvas in one of Redpixel’s bases is ancient.

I think that original creator gave up, unfortunately.

Damn imagine having your creation taken from you and used for something like that. Shit like this makes me question my stance on IP abolition.
