That's some quality documentation.

It's almost like Game Theory told political members about memes. With all the shock value and clickbait and whatnot.

Anti-Defamation League adds Pepe to its list of hate symbols though it does clarify that the context of the image matters.

I wonder if they realize that they have given these hate groups the exact formula to take away everything from everyone. All they need to do is say how much they like something, and poof, instant symbol of hate speech.

To me its absurd because it's like saying "9/10 white supremacists like Deadpool, therefore Deadpool is a symbol of hate speech". It's nonesene, since pepe is an idea and meme, basically a joke, and nobody can hold exclusive rights to that sort of thing.
