   I really hate that I immediate regard any online thing that uses a frog as part of its logo as inherently suspect. Frogs never deserved the legacy of 4chan and pepe.

     @fabs Yeah, I remember how upset Matt Furie was about the whole thing.

     (But I also hated pepe's face from the start because the art style made me uncomfortable, unrelated to it being abused as a fashy symbol.)
