Pepe Is Banned From the Apple App Store (vice.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: The rarest pepe is one found on the iOS App Store, and now we know why: Apple has categorized the meme frog as "objectionable content" and has rejected an app called Pepe Scream, Motherboard confirmed. "Your app contains images and references of Pepe the Frog, which are considered objectionable content," an Apple App Review Board employee named Nicole wrote in a rejection notice to Spirit Realm Games, the developer of Pepe Scream. "It would be appropriate to remove the references and revise the images in your app." MrSnrhms, a developer for Spirit Realm Games, gave Motherboard temporary access to the team's iOS developer account, which showed that Apple did indeed reject the app because it contains Pepe, a cartoon frog that has been increasingly associated with the alt-right.

Except Pepe the Frog wasn't adopted by racist sacks of shit.
4Chan tricked the media into thinking that was the case. Just like they tricked them into thinking the "OK" hand gesture was a symbol for white power.
Every instance on social media you see of Pepe the Frog or the "OK" hand gesture being used for such purposes is a farce. The media bought it whole hog, with zero investigation, zero confirmation, and zero thinking.
Yep, they also convinced a few members of the media that creatine fueled elliot rogers' murder spree.. basically 4chan is a bit like the onion, entertaining but don't even for a second take it seriously.
Shit Trump getting elected was just one giant /pol/ trollfest. Even /pol/ cant believe that Trump got elected.
Alt-right is not racist, get a clue.
The KKK probably mostly votes Republican, but most Republicans are not members of the KKK. Same with the alt-right.
The alt-right, in simplest terms, says: multiculturalism doesn't actually work. Mixing cultures leads to conflict. Furthermore they believe specifically that Western culture is threatened by multiculturalism, because too many migrants from non-western cultures are being accepted, and failing to integrate.
There's nothing particularly racist about that. There may well be something racist in the progressive position that everyone except westerners should strive to preserve their culture.
Enjoy life! This is not a dress rehearsal.
The KKK was a function and part of the Democrats. As late as the 1970's. The transfer of the KKK to the "republicans" was a slight of hand magician's trick by the Media and the Democrats. The greatest hate group in America continues to be the Democrat Party, they just haven't gotten around to banning themselves.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
It has been co-oped to be the symbol for Kek, a neo-fash (New Fascists) group that is associated with the so-called "Men's Rights Movement" and "The Red Pill".
100% false. You just made that up. Complete BS.
Kekistan is a satire of identity politics. It mocks the white nationalists as much as anyone else. Kekistan was created (or at least popularized) by YouTuber Sargon of Akkad, whose politicla views are well know and not alt-right. (He has a track record of sending known alt-right people who follow him interracial porn until they unfollow).
Pepe is just a meme. There are Million s of Pepe images, with only about a half dozen base images that could be considered racist, such as Hitler Pepe. It was the most popular meme image of 2015 (according to Tumblr) so of course there a Hitler Pepe - there's an everything Pepe.
But now Pepe is a counter-culture Icon, ever since it was attacked by the Hillary campaign.
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
Funny how the alt-right seems to support Milo Yiannopoulos, and he is very openly gay.
"-1 Troll" is the apparently the same as "-1 I disagree with you."
