Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
- Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

No. Fuck the nazis that tried to take Pepe from us.
also i know its semantics but the frog in the OP is a peepo, not Pepe. im pretty sure peepo massively increased in popularity from the Frenworld/Honkler nazi subreddits

The original artist is trying to reclaim pepe from hate groups, and imo has created some cool animations in doing so
a year later:

I don't think Matt furie has actually abandoned pepe. He has posted his own pepe animations around 2021, which is still pretty recent.
E.g.

this is a promotion for rarepepes.fun
a fucking NFT site lmao
edit: upon further reflection, fuck pepe, fuck the artist, and fuck y'all
fuck them, but the frog is theirs now.

i feel bad for the artist. that was his art. his little guy, his creation. it was taken from him. i cant imagine losing a piece of your art to some of the worst types of people humanity has to offer.
Never!
This! Ffs, pepe is one of the best memes ever
