Bluesky Post (this was also posted on twitter)

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

Just because the creator doesn’t want it used as a hate symbol doesn’t automatically mean it isn’t used as one, and next to chan-level garbage is the grand total of where I’ve seen Pepe.

Sounds like you need to hang out on better parts of the internet.

Uh huh, uh huh.

Meanwhile, here on earth, Matt Furie’s own lawyer brought up the fact that, on Steam, Pepe emotes were being used “in connection with hateful speech.

Tell me something, has that changed, or is it possible, just maybe, that the Steam Community is one of those places I was referring to?

So now tell me this, when you claim that it’s ridiculous to treat Pepe use as a sign of hate on Steam Community, are you ignoring the active, proven and admitted use alongside hate speech, or are you trying to downplay it?

Matt Furie protecting his copyright as part of the re-co opt efforts? That doesn’t conflict with what I have said.

Unlike the swastika, someone owns the copyright and can make moves to reclaim it.
