Post by: markofan on January 25, 2017, 07:09:16 AM
that is supposed to be a symbol of racism.  Can someone explain that to me?  I don't get it.

Pepe the Frog is a popular Internet meme.

The fictional green anthropomorphic frog with a frog-like face and a humanoid body is originally from a comic series by Matt Furie called Boy's Club.

It became an Internet meme when its popularity steadily grew across Myspace, Gaia Online and 4chan in 2008.

By 2015, it had become one of the most popular memes used on Tumblr. Beginning in 2016, his image has increasingly been appropriated as a symbol of the controversial alt-right movement.

Because of the use of Pepe by the alt-right, the Anti-Defamation League added Pepe the Frog to their database of hate symbols in 2016, adding that not all Pepe memes are racist.

Since then, Pepe's creator has publicly expressed his dismay at Pepe being used as a hate symbol.

The meme's original use has evolved over time and has many variants, including Sad frog, Smug frog, Feels frog, and "You will never..." frog.

Katy Perry once tweeted an image of Pepe to illustrate her jet lag.

Nicki Minaj posted a twerking Pepe to represent her on Instagram.

When the New Zealand government was accepting proposals for a new national flag, a design with Pepe was submitted.

In October 2015, Donald Trump tweeted an image depicting himself as Pepe standing behind a podium with the Seal of the President of the United States.

Pepe the frog was a long standing internet meme/troll before the election - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog . He was adopted by conservative trolls during the election cycle, and since he was a favorite conservative trolling tool, the left did what the left does best, label it un-pc or racist. All types of trolls found this hilarious, so the Pepe memes started to take on a more racist bend to them in response to it.

Having watched a lot of it unfold on twitter, 95% of racist angle to it was just trolling, nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for the replies.  I don't think I've ever paid much attention to it, but have seen the more benign examples in the past.  At first I thought it was the logo for a bar somewhere in Florida.

Professor Jordan Peterson of Canada College gives a good explanation of the metaphysical nature of Pepe on YouTube.
