   @floppyplopper @alex There are leftist streamers on Twitch who not only tolerate pepe emotes in their chat but provide their own for subscribers. It's too ingrained in gamer culture to ever stand a chance of being universally shunned.

     urgh, sorry to hear this

     i had only remembered that even far-right orgs like the anti-defamation league and bbc were calling it a nazi frog.

     i'm reading back now about how adl walked back from their original (uncharacteristically correct) statement

     @floppyplopper oh i think there was, and still is, equivocation about Pepe. liberals love giving fascists the benefit of the doubt.

     to cut through the liberal equivocation about hand angles etc, one can simply point out it was a nazi salute by definition because it was a salute delivered by someone who is already provably a nazi through his expressed political beliefs and actions. dude could be coming up with totally new salutes and they would already definitionally be nazi expressions.
