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 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.

Well, I'm obviously conscious of its history now. However, I don't think that the fact that such a hideous group of people use it to spread hatred should deter others from using those emotes in ways that have nothing to do with that. If that makes sense.

I get the intention but when a minority and you're dealing with people you don't know, wouldn't it push you away? The swastika was originally an ancient religious symbol, but its meaning has been irreversibly tainted since.

It is still a religious symbol btw just not the diagonal nazi version, but the original on a flat side. I have seen pendants of it.

Yes, I should have been more clear. I didn't expect the cultures that used it to change. The nazi one has a specific angle and orientation but I wouldn't risk using any version in any of my games because I'm sure it would be misunderstood.
