It wasn't meant to be Taboo Sex: Daughter in law, Sister in law, Mother in law (2025)like this. Pepe the Frog, that smiling green amphibian that's been co-opted by white nationalists and officially deemed a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), was never supposed to be a mascot of hate.
Pepe started out life as a friendly, chilled frog, who maybe liked to get stoned and live a simple life - and his creator wants him back like that.

Reminding readers that Pepe was "a blissfully stoned frog in my comic book Boy’s Club, where he enjoyed a simple life of snacks, soda and pulling his pants all the way down to go pee," Furie said the frog became a meme around 2008.

So far, so benign. But then nothing on the internet remains the same forever.
Before long, Pepe was "used by haters on social media to suggest racist, anti-Semitic or other bigoted notions," the ADL said recently. He proliferated on 4chan, 8chan and Reddit, eventually spreading to Twitter and Facebook.
Perhaps a collision with Trump was inevitable, and the Republican candidate tweeted an image of himself as Pepe in October 2015. Money (albeit not much) is even being raised to install a Pepe-Trump billboard in the U.S.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Things have not been looking good for the frog. As Furie wrote Thursday, "it's completely insane that Pepe has been labeled a symbol of hate, and that racists and anti-Semites are using a once peaceful frog-dude from my comic book as an icon of hate."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
"It’s a nightmare, and the only thing I can do is see this as an opportunity to speak out against hate."
"In the end," however, Furie insisted "Pepe is whatever you say he is, and I, the creator, say that Pepe is love."
