That or they'll outright ignore or deny any wrongdoing.
If the 4chan crowd turned it into a white supremacist signal, does it still have that meaning for ws?
They turned Pepe the Frog into a WS Hate symbol and WS inside joke. They were resentful and seemed low-key jealous that the Pepe meme (which was not about spreading hate) was popular among Black Twitter users who intiailly helped make the meme funnier, so the bitter 4channers saw this and decided to colonize, steal, and co-opt it for evil, confusion, and to boost their message (for indoctrination of others) and to "humorously" signal to other WS and they are "one of them." That's why you'll see many of those racist users with Pepe the Frog avatars and other racist avatars.
It annoys me when I see people refer to these racist degenerates, monsters, POS, and incels as "trolls", "edgy teens", and "edgelords" when most of them are grown ass, racist ass sociopathic adults and hateful little keyboard thugs that frankly need their asses beaten.
Any whites and non-Blacks that love or post Political Encompass Memes, Wojaks, dead memes, and other similar memes while romanticizing about things such as the Fappening, Gamergate, and destroying the left with all of its "SJWs, BLM terrorists, groomers, Antifa terrorists and feminazis" are usually racist 4channers, 9gaggers, redditors and associates. Even the racist
groypers (with WS Nick Fuentes as their leader) has Pepe the Frog as their mascot.
You'll find alt-right humor and conservative comedians (or comedian wannabes)
Remember, the Ku Klux Klan started as a "joke",
until it wasn't. It was never a joke.
The Birth of a Nation film was (and still is) just a critically acclaimed racist film "of its time", but it also inspired policies, police, courts, and politicians to hurt and kill Black people and our families with justification. It's not "just a movie."
