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
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.
No. Fuck the nazis that tried to take Pepe from us.
This! Ffs, pepe is one of the best memes ever

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.
