      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.

      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.
