Pepe the Frog is a well-known internet
meme that originated from a comic called "Boy's Club" created by
artist Matt Furie in 2005.
Initially, Pepe was a peaceful
character who represented everyday emotions and situations with the catchphrase
"feels good man."
However, over time, the image of Pepe
evolved and was co-opted by various groups for different purposes, some of
which were controversial.
The meme gained significant attention
when it was adopted by the alt-right movement, leading to its classification as
a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in 2016.
Despite this, the ADL also acknowledged
that the majority of Pepe the Frog memes were not hate-related.
Matt Furie has actively opposed the
negative use of Pepe and has taken legal action to prevent it.
In a different context, Pepe became a
symbol of resistance during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests, where it was used
to represent the protestors' fight for democracy and was not associated with
alt-right ideology.
Today, Pepe the Frog remains a complex
figure in internet culture, embodying the fluid nature of memes and their
impact on society and politics.
