So I recently found out that Matt Furie released a kickstarter in order to "resurrect PePe".
I mean sure.... because it worked so well when the Cincinnati Zoo wanted to stop the Harambe memes, amirite??
All he is going to do is to add more fuel to the fire. People who has spent the last year saying all Pepe memes are hate speech aren't going to change their minds, someone who doesn't know what Pepe is will just google it and find the /pol/ version, and people who still like Pepe despite all the shitstorm surrounding the character are just going to give his new stuff the Sarah's Scribbles treatment.
In other words, Pepe no longer belongs to Matt, it belongs to the Internet now.
