Pepe may have been a harmless cartoon frog once upon a time but is now a symbol of hate and bigotry. Just as the swastika was once a symbol of peace, after being adopted by the Nazis it never represented that again and never will. The alt-right adopted Pepe the frog and now it'll forever be representative of them. Would you allow people to have swastika emotes? No. So stop allowing people to use that disgusting frog. It's offensive on many levels to many different people, but especially Jews, like myself, as it is often used by anti-semetic trolls. Whether people mean to use it that way or whether their aware of it's meaning is beside the point. It's what and who it represents that matters and it should be removed from being used on your site. Racism and bigotry is not a joke.
