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. Also read: Pepe the Frog Is Dead.
The OK symbol false flag failed because people quickly realised where it was coming for. Pepe was identified as an alt-right symbol because well established members of that movement adopted him.
Anyway, what does it matter where it comes from? Racists use Pepe regularly, they adopted him as use him to spread their messages. Doesn't matter who made the memes, the message and effect is the same.

Target is suffering from this as we speak but will likely not change course having painted themselves into a corner.
People who are boycotting Target over a fucking bathroom issue are the ones who are the real oversensitive snowflakes. It's also entirely possible that things have just been sucking lately for retail stores in general, and Target is feeling the squeeze. Hhgregg just went under, and I doubt bathrooms had anything to do with it.
It's kinda like how the anti-Seaworld activists claimed Blackfish was causing a huge drop in attendance - coincidentally, right about the same time Universal Resort and Disney World opened some major new attractions. Nope, that probably had nothing to do with it - it had to be the protesters. Uh-huh.

DRM is like antifreeze, to the MPAA/RIAA it's sweet, to the consumers it's poison.
