i'm watching Pepe LePew be transformed into a rallying cry by the worst of far right media
Nobody is rallying around Pepe LePew as a hero. He's a detestable character, and that's precisely where the humor comes from (though I've never cared for the cartoons).
People don't like Darth Vader because they want an actual space genocide. This isn't difficult to understand.
who are now buying up his merchandise
Ten bucks says that this idiot sees that said merchandise is sold out and thinks "must be those fuckin' Nazis" instead of "they must have stopped making it".
Create retarded moral panic.
Get object of panic banned.
Create retarded moral panic about those critical of the original moral panic.
Repeat.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a clown shoe stamping on a human face— forever.
The irony of this is that Pepe is just a negative ethnic stereotype of French men.
Like, if this butthurt were coming from the French, they would kind of have a point. But instead it's coming from a bunch of americans whose parents weren't even a twinkle in the milk man's eye when the character was designed.
The real problem is that all the cartoons take place in a Paris that no longer exists. They must burry that history and pretend it's always been what it is now.
I wonder if these kids have ever seen the handful of cartoons where Pepe gets the tables turned on him (by his scent being neutralized by paint or perfume) and turns out to be terrified by forward females.

Rallying around a stereotype about french guys.
Pepe was always presented as an oblivious, presumptuous horndog. He's not a fucking hero, you miserable cunts.
Screeching faggots says what?

We need to make sure we are the ones wearing the shoe.

Misogyny isn't real.
I wish I had the money to put this sentence on a damn billboard in DC.
Pepe lives matter.
