Update 1/4/17 2:09pm EST: Guess who just endorsed Wendy’s as their official burger chain of choice? The fucking Daily Stormer, that’s who! The neo-Nazi site described Wendy’s official response to the now-deleted meme tweet as “a frog whistle, straight up. And we need to embrace them for it.”
“Everyone knows that Pepe is a Nazi frog,” the site’s founder Andrew Anglin wrote in a blog post today, “As companies continue to send signals to the Alt-Right, I will continue to endorse them.”
Say what you will about nazis, they sure are creative and come up with the best ideas. And the best names too. What sort of asshole would be against safety
Basically, a lot of indie underground music clubs attract anarchists, antifa commies and left-wing liberals, so /pol/ tends to despise them. Then, after one of those clubs called the GHostship burned down (killing more than 30 people), /pol/ got the idea to report as many as these clubs for fire safety violations. Because these are underground and illegal clubs, a huge amount of them actually were fire safety hazards, and the fire inspection had significant reason to shut a large portion of them down after inspecting. Either that, or they were forced to pay several thousands of dollars to reach a fire safety standard, which most of them simply couldn't afford.
The fallout was fantastic, and a lot of people got insanely pissed about it. You had anarchists on reddit trying to 'raid' 4chan (not knowing that they were actually raiding 4plebs, so just the archive). The best part is that they couldn't do anything. What /pol/ did was completely in compliance with the law and many of these clubs were actually a fire safety threat to their surroundings.
The thing is as well, most of the bloggers who are aware of the Pepe=Nazi thing will likely see through this as trolling, but will blog about it as a genuine story for clickbait.
“These anti-Semites have no shame. They are abusing the image of a cartoon character, one that might at first seem appealing, to harass and spread hatred on social media,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt
something hugo boss don't want you to know is that they didn't actually design them, they just sewed them together. They've been subtly taking credit of for the iconic fascist look for decades, it really is a clever marketing campaign.
Great, now the memelord that works for Wendy's will get replaced and we'll be missing out on bored interns roasting retards over a burger joint's twitter.
Because some edgelords on twitter/pol shopped him with swastikas and then Hillary put out that stupid article on her website and then SPLC decided "yeah a meme is hate speech"
They declared Maajid Nawaz and Ayaan Hirsi Ali as anti-muslim extremists. SPLC are Islam apologists, hypocrites, and partisan hacks of the highest order. They don't even list radical Muslims as a hate group on their "hate map" https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map
If more people actually flooded the market with rare pepes like Wendy's is actually doing. Then Pepe would actually be thought of as less of hate symbol and more like the greatest meme that it actually is.
Somehow bloggers bought into this attitude that they're the real journalists, and that they're quicker and more accurate than the real ones, but also not technically "journalists" (don't use that word) so they can't be held accountable for their words or actions by basic ethical standards.
It's born out of the 15-year-old notion that "these new bloggers sure are quick to catch wind of things and discuss them!". They think they're underground, and hip, and in the know, and thus that's why they're first to print. The truth is, they don't fact-check anything, they often just make stuff up, and on a slow news day they drop any pretense of doing news and just right fluff-based opinion pieces.
But they still like to maintain the idea that they're somehow better than actual journalism. Unfortunately, traditional journalism is trying its hardest to prove them right in a race to the bottom.
The whole pepe/nazi connection is a false flag engineered by the right to trick the left into banning a cartoon frog, therefore exposing the depths of their hysterical commitment to cultural policing.
It just started to have a life of its own. All these versions of Pepe having different personalities – smug, sad or really violent and weird,” said Furie, citing a “scatological and weirdly graphic” version known as Poo Poo Pee Pee Pepe
The whole point of poo poo pee pee was /r9k/ trying to 'scare the normies away' with disgusting and violent imagery. This was before Pepe became Kek and was adopted by /pol/ as their God.
This is nothing. I went to Wendy's last night and ordered some juice. And they said it will take a minute since it's still in the oven. So I asked them why would juice be in the oven. And they replied "Oh, you meant Juice!" I'm never going to Wendy's again 😤

I honestly don't know why this is difficult for you to understand. Symbols take on significance as shared understanding of meaning spreads.
n/a Deutschbag_ 2017-01-04
Shared understanding of Pepe is that it's a dumb frog meme about depression and autism. The hate symbol stuff is an artificial construct.
n/a Velvet_Llama 2017-01-04
It was about feels good man, then depression and autism, then smugness, and now, hate. Shit evolves bro.
