How is Pepe still a thing in 2021.
Ready for Austim the Post?
Pepe was a forced meme by the Trump/Bannon guys. To signify a break from MILO/Bannon buttsex, some randos drew their own. This is how Apu Apustaja (Help Helper in Finnish) emerged as he got added to a Finnish image board.
Separate from this, That_Groyper (who was terminated from Twitter today) drew a toad he called "Groyper." This had nothing to do with Fedentes, who ultimately co-oped the cartoon. (Note: Fedentes originally used Marv, the degenerate frog character, for a while before
his handlers he rebranded as a Groyper.) At some point, Finnish 8chan also gave us Spurdo and Gondola.
"Clown Pepe" is really named Honk Honkler (inspired by Heil Hitler) who is a frog who goes gonzo in late stage post-modernism. He came on scene around the time Desmond is Amazing (the apparently abused child dancing in fag bars at 3AM across the country) was being promoted and when Trump unveiled literal Globohomo plans to force GRIDS on everyone country.
Newer frog characters include Peepo, Brev, Tuho, and Crayfish. These and the aforementioned are often called "frens" though "fren" has never exactly been limited to Frog Twitter.
I know that this might seems insane, but it's genuinely a bunch of Rightists trying to have a little lightness. It's one of those things where you kind of had to be there as it developed to understand it.
Helper checks his notes: yup, Fedentes is a buttpumped grifting fraud. Not cozy.
