Reminder that Pepe and Peepo emotes are dogwhistles.
Doesn't mean you're a bad person for using them, but they have a history of being used by straight up nazis.
The creator of the original character even killed off the character because of it.
Please don't use anything related to them.

Pepe/peepo memes are an instant block 🤷 They don't pass the vibe check.

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles.
Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination.
First off: Let’s talk about money.
