    :(

    I’m sorry for triggering that association. A lot of internet culture has been co-opted by those jerks. I didn’t mean it that way.

        Fuckkkk thatttt, pepe is still alive and well on twitch, and racists are not tolerated (at least in any of the channels I frequent). They can pry that frog from my cold, dead hands.

        Yeah. I’m old and have been on the internet since well before the creation of both Pepe and based. That’s why I still use this term. I think we should try to reclaim these things - if we let them change our behavior, we lose.

      Nah, I’m glad to know you didn’t know. I’m also glad I’m not alone.
