ADL wants to reclaim Pepe the frog from Anti-Semites

The creator of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon that has become a symbol frequently circulated by anti-Semites online, is joining forces with the Anti-Defamation League to reclaim the image as a “force for good.”

Matt Furie will create a series of positive Pepe internet memes that the ADL will promote through its social media channels with the hashtag #SavePepe, the organization announced in a news release Friday.

The character, which Furie created for an online comic in the mid-2000s, has been co-opted in recent months by white nationalist groups such as the alt-right.

“Pepe was never intended to be used as a symbol of hate,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “The sad frog was meant to be just that, a sad frog. We are going to work with Matt and his community of artists to reclaim Pepe so that he might be used as a force for good, or at the very least to help educate people about the dangers of prejudice and bigotry."

"The dangers of memes." The fucking meme war has begun.

this is all going way too far

The internet will blow up with more racist Pepe memes than ever before. It'll be hilarious to watch it backfire in the ADL's face.

ADL is trying to stay relevant. How cute.

They should pay more attention to Israel wiping its ass on international law to have credibility. ADL is a joke.

The ADL should be more triggered by BDS SJWs than Pepe.

Yes, how those filthy ''SJWs'' dare mock their ''fun'' gas chamber jokes.

Since your post was sort of vague, I want to be perfectly clear that I'm mocking the people outraged by the ADL.

A blind intoxicated cow would notice that the Alt-Right, in their desperate crusade to look tough and manly, is trying to be (online) even more agressive than the actual Nazis.

lol, the sjws are the ones getting fking triggered by a cartoon frog. How pathetic is that?

[Dextroden]

Isn't this just going to blow up in their faces like when the zoo asked people to quit with the Harambe memes?

Still waiting on a response for why I should take the Russian Military's word with no evidence provided, and how not doing so is somehow intellectual dishonesty.

Yeah we all know the good Pepe ''jokes'' that are so hilarious-like executing with bullets in the head minorities, gays, Jews, liberals, any woman who is a feminist (read, who say no to angry boy)

I mean, what brilliant satire is Roosh V. and co. screaming with foam in the mouth about stockpiling guns to prepare ''for duh day of duh rope''

[Cyberowl]

I miss the old pepe, the FeelsBadMan pepe, the FeelsGoodMan pepe, I hate the new pepe, the ADL pepe, the KKK pepe.

waht would this actually accomplish anyway? the only people really ever using pepe are 4chan, aside from the occasional "normie" tweet with it, and i really dont see 4chan caring if some random organisation wants to try and turn pepe into their own thing

[Kraenen]

Some people just really don't get it. I don't mean to be hating but is the ADL run by autistic/aspergers people? Their behavior indicates someone who just doesn't get other humans.

[sarahtasher]

Just knowing the definition of a meme in the first place should tell any sane person how futile this is.

No, that's a recurring feature of the alt-right. Try to be online, for apeparing virile and manly, so to the right that the actual Nazis would be left of them (cue to the alt right agitprop argument 212, AKA ''the Nazis were socialists'')

As opposed as the alrighter, those wonderful being that spend their days screaming about how they are preparing to execute Jews, Mexicans, Liberals, Gays...but hey, it's okay, kauze they are ''funny''.
