The "Pepe the Frog" meme and Swastikas were the most common extremist or hateful symbols on Steam, representing almost 55% and 9% of all extremist symbols detected, respectively.

Some symbols, like the sonnenrad and Totenkopf, are explicitly extremist, while others, like Pepe, are often used by extremists, but their use alone does not signal extremist ideologies.

So Pepe is a "extremist or hateful symbol", but its "use alone does not signal extremist ideologies". I'm confused.

Pepe is not a hate symbol, it's heavily tied to the meme culture and its usage is way beyond any extremists group's control.
