I've no idea what this means, but if they're just racist PoS I don't think I care about nuance.
Basically Kirk was MAGA, the shooter was from a group called 'groypers' led by Nick Fuentes. There's an online meme 'persona' of sorts called Pepe, who I guess the groypers use as a mascot. Which is a shame as some of the Pepe content is pretty awesome. It's the punisher skull shit all over again. Anyway, infighting between facist groups, groypers being the more extreme far right group, which I didn't think was possible but here we are.
It's so true. Conservatives are so uncreative that they miss the most basic elements of storytelling that most of us grasp as children.
They haven't made anything creative of their own since the swastika, and even that was stolen from Hindus. All they do is take take take, and then ruin everything they fucking touch.
They adopted Pepe?
That's a shame. It was a good meme there for a while. I had no idea that it was being tied to racist bullshit.
Thanks for the heads up. I guess I can't use that meme anymore. I don't want to be associated with these chuckle fucks.
Yeah there's a documentary about the guy who created pepe and how he hates that it's been co-opted by awful people. I forget what it's called.
they co-opted pepe, much like with punisher logo to twist it.
It's the same group that coopted the punisher logo?
Those guys are assholes.
Pepe is actually a reclaimed racist meme. Most of this 4chan racism about the frog is from 2016 or so. If you're ever on twitch, you'll see it all over the place because it's a huge part of their culture.
Weird. I spend a nontrivial amount of time on Twitch and I don't see that at all.
I'm speaking particularly of chat emotes. I still see it all the time, but it may vary by channel.
That's fair. Chat emotes can vary wildly from streamer to streamer.
