    You've joined a discord server and start noticing some people are using pepe the frog emojis. How many of those does it take until you feel this is not a safe place?

        With over 1000 votes and a ton of replies, this is a lot to keep up with so if you want to learn more about that character/symbol, just google it. Come here to defend it and you'll get blocked.

        A twitter poll with the question "You've joined a discord server and start noticing some people are using pepe the frog emojis. How many of those does it take until you feel this is not a safe place?" 2190 votes in total. 35.4% voted 1, 41.1 voted 5%, 7.4% voted 10, 16.2% voted 10+

        The results are in and they are quite clear. The most voted answer was 5 (41.1%), with 1 not too far behind (35.4%). If you add them together you can see just a few pepes are enough to make 77% of the voters feel unsafe. Here are some insights from this conversation: pic.twitter.com/xUWtGI86pv

        I've really noticed that they're used almost everywhere now, by POC too, is it just us that associates them with racist gamergate trolls? There's nothing inherintly racist about the character, just the people that used them at a certain time. Still makes me double take though...

        At this point I think it's gone beyond those troll circles and it has gained a very different meaning from the original comic, but it's an instant red flag for me now.

        I think my answer to the question varies depending on regional context. Pepe’s transition from regular meme to a sign of the alt-right is slower in some places than others.

        Before Paradox acquired American studios, our Slack was littered with Pepe emojis because they didn’t have the association to bigotry in Sweden as in the US. They have since been removed.

        I was so confused by this question that I had to literally google it. Never crossed my mind that Pepe had such a negative connotation for a lot of people. Pretty much every Discord server I'm on and Twitch channel I watch uses multiple Pepe emotes.

        How do you feel about them, now that you know?
