      That is beyond meaningless. Pepe has no owner. It is a symbol of the internet culture and it’s not going away any time soon.

        Agreed but I do like the lore of pepe technically truly being dead because of his fascist undertone nowadays. Kinda funny.

          This is only true if you think it’s true. Pepe serves as a template for internet culture and can have anything projected on to it. Pepe has been used to push evil views like Marxism and Fascism to pragmatic views like universal healthcare and freedom of the press to non political things like complaining about video games and the weather.
