"Anyone using the image of Pepe was accused of supporting Racism and Hatred."

Anyone, even this guy,

Anyone, including Eric Hauser and his peaceful "The Adventures of Pepe and Pede." It's a dense topic and I am happy that your article is going to make me explore it. Or maybe I shouldn't care because I am in Nigeria with its entirely different kind of problems.

crypto is a global community. where the idea that pepe is at it's core a hate symbol is specifically an american belief, promoted specifically by hillary clinton. The global nature of crypto is the reason that crypto has easily dismissed the hatred which was applied to Pepe, and continue to enjoy him for what he has been from the start: a way to communicate a diverse set of ideas, jokes, and fun through art. :) Thanks for stopping by!
