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?

For sure, if I were building a community allowing possibly-ok pepes is not a hill worth dying on. Just ban them and embrace the anime chibis, no one needs pepe to express themselves.

Co-opting stuff is all about trying to weasel people into pointless hills to die on. That's the meta game. It's trivial to agree that direct racist slurs have no place, it's much harder when its... celtic symbolism, Hawaiian shirts, cartoon frogs, kek (from wow), ok symbols etc.
