On November 22nd, a thread to /r/forsen asked "What mean Pepehands?"[3] to which Redditor NudelNipple answered:

"Gonna give you a real answer: PepeHands is an emote. Either BTTV or FFZ, not sure which one. Literally shows a crying Pepe that holds up his hands towards the sky, like someone who just lost a family member and asks "why God why?". That's basically it. Thank me later jabroni. Gonna listen to some "old forsen- we miss you" now PepeHands

There are also several threads in Reddit that have "Pepehands" in the title, signifying that the poster is sad.[4]

This is actually a good return to form for Pepe, as his first iterations as a meme instead of a comic character indeed focused on feelings of sadness and similar emotions, instead of a generic reaction image often unrelated to the post itself.

Simple meme, but surprisingly good and for once not related to politics in any way, so that is a big plus.
