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?

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'm glad they've been removed. At this point they are so widespread it can be hard to know the intention behind them, and they set off instant alarm sirens in my head.
