Thanks! Maybe I've encountered it mostly in a bad context before. I've now red up more about it and you're right it seems to precede the use I've seen it in more than I knew! Also, I don't believe everyone I don't like is alt-right. Normally don't use that phrasing, simply didn't dive deep enough in meme history before questioning if what the first results on Google gave me is true.. My bad but still believe more info could help reclaiming pepe considering who's been appropriating it, what does it mean to you?
It's a meme among the others. I think they are silly (all memes are), but neutral in the way that anyone can use them for any purpose.
