Sup Forums, I'm confused. Why is it that two of your biggest memes have roots in thing you don't typically like?
For one thing, "Redpill", as I'm sure you know, refers to a scene from a movie produced by a company with "Weinstein" in its name and directed by (it would turn out) a pair of trans women, in which a black dude and a white lady on a ship named after a Babylonian king educate a white dude on how everything he knows is wrong.
And Pepe, well.
First off, even a rudimentary amount of research shows how he came to be a thing. Some board, I think Sup Forums, was posting Boy's Club pages, and they all decided the panel where Pepe says "feels good, man" was a hee-larious reaction image.
But do you remember what made the man's good feel? Peeing at a urinal with his pants around his ankles "like a little kid". Now, it's hard to tell with you people, but that's gotta be something you'd consider degenerate, right? Surely.
But, more than that, Pepe was Matt Furie's intellectual property. And you fellows didn't stop at reaction images, goodness no. You made him your own. You made him a symbol of your beliefs and emotions, even when the guy himself told you to cut it out.
You took somebody else's labor and turned it into profit while producing nothing in return.
Do you know what that is? Do you know what people call that?
Why do you think /k/ worships art made to condemn violence and arms ownership?

Do you even know what "fun" is, OP? Get that stick out of your ass and lighten up
Jayden Butler
Also "based". It's black slang that came out of the word (free)base-head
Jeremiah Morris
Oh, no, I get fun, but this is the board where everything that's not about how great white straight guys is degenerate Soros-funded psyops, right?
I'm new here, y'know.
Kayden Williams
Holy shit, they made an Angel of Knives. I don't care what the intention was, that's badass.
...could they place that so that the Murdercube is hovering above it? It would make such a tableau I'd literally worship it. I'd worship it so hard I'd actually draw supernatural Cleric powers from it, D&D style.
Don't make me laugh, the origins of "pepe" come from the bachelor frog on Sup Forums several years ago which was all about doing disgusting shit like "fap into a sock / wear it anyways" kind of memes (pic related). These frogs were supposed to reflect the life of a bachelor male and the disgusting/funny stuff they go through. Soon a spin on it showed up, the bachelorette frog which was all about stuff like "go to sleep in white sheets /wake up in japanese flag" kind of memes, then it evolved into all kinds of other shit like the "feels good man" which was about stuff like "fart in public / feels good man" or other "degenerate" stuff like your urinal example. Then there was some sort of spin about an actual successful frog who didn't do disgusting shit and was just successful and shit.
After all that some guy drew a "Pepe" and claimed he has "intellectual property" over it. Kill yourself if you take someone like this seriously as you have 0 understanding of chan culture. Even in the off chance that this guy actually was the original creator of that specific image, when you just post in on a chan you are giving it out to the chan and relinquishing your "ownership" over it. The same way you and I just wrote our replies for free.
Logan Hughes
Holy shit you are reaching.
Oliver Adams
...nigga are you seriously ignorant of Boy's Club? That shit's been running since 05. I know conspiracy theories are basically like dickgirls on every other board here, but are alleging Furie made up having a comic that's been around for long enough to be starting puberty?
Andrew Sullivan

Damn, bitch!

Luke Nguyen
Not really, to be honest.
You don't have to watch that video to know that there are some really sick people pushing some really sick stuff these days.
Alright, so I'm just gonna throw this out there before I continue interacting with you, is there ANY context in which you can look at trans people positively?
We've only recently crossed the line from lulz to truth.
Jeremiah Morales
>But do you remember what made the man's good feel? Peeing at a urinal with his pants around his ankles "like a little kid". Now, it's hard to tell with you people, but that's gotta be something you'd consider degenerate, right? Surely.
You are stupid.
Charles Gomez
Because symbols change meaning and always have throughout history. So do memes. Same thing. Lighten up.
Gabriel Thompson
yes
Austin Cox
>is there ANY context in which you can look at trans people positively?
Perhaps one scenario where they realize they were mentally ill and apologize profusely for pushing this degeneracy on society. There's no situation in which they can be actively trans and viewed favorably by me.
Kayden Lee
See, I'd buy that, and commend this board's taste in sci-fi, where it not for the fact that people who don't, I don't know, jerk off to the last scene on Boys Don't Cry, are called bluepills. The other pill is Morpheus' hand, stay in wonderland, yadda yadda. Did you not see it? It is kinda old.
Kevin Gomez
Huh. That's neat I guess.
...you know that's not exactly gonna...happen, yeah? Not even because of your efforts, societies just sorta become more inclusive as time goes on. It's math. The more people there are the more KINDS of people there's going to be.
Josiah Reed
You're dumb as fuck, kiddo. lern 2 internet
Leo Powell
No, I didn't know about this. Or maybe forgot. I just looked up on those comics and I stand corrected. I guess BF frog was a spin on the BC pepe and not the other way around as I thought. My bad.
Brayden Garcia
Well. Can't say I'm SUPER surprised.
As long as I'm asking questions that'll get unhelpful answers, how's it feel knowing that inside of 20 years, you're going to have like no cultural cachet? And that your kids, if you have any, are pretty much gonna write you off?
Michael Cook
Let's look at your psyche for a second, it's only fair since all of your questions have at least been partially answered. You've clearly come here to question this community and for lack of a better phrase make one "look in the mirror". Why? Do you think there's something dangerous about Sup Forums? If not is it how one communicates through a joke here? Why are the jokes one makes here untruthful or disingenuous? What do trans people have to do with anything?
Leo Rogers
yeah. i know. "the matrix" was the first dvd i ever got. i watched it on my ibm aptiva.
Hunter Foster
I don't think there's any relation at all, actually. Foul Bachelor Frog is variation of a meme of animals that say a thing according to their theme. It started with a golden retriever puppy on a rainbow background, and honestly it was so long ago I forget what the joke even was.
But that turned into Courage Wolf, Socially Awkward Penguin, stuff like that. This is probably all on ED of Know Your Meme.
Jackson Johnson
You're a slave in the Matrix, but the matrix isn't a computer simulated reality. Your options and choices are artificially limited by social programming. >Knock, knock, Neo.
Where you wrong is assuming trends can not be turned around. That re- authentication, re-construction is not only possible, but desirable.
Kayden White
Fella, I'm honestly just bored, and I find the board in particular funny as fuck for a lot of reasons. I know you guys have been asked about the ol' pills 'n' frog combo before, but I never heard the response.
And trans folks came into it on account'a one of your colleagues saw fit to start throwing Alex Jones-tier lolfuel about the "trans agenda" around.
Jonathan Jones
Okay, sure, fine. But as far as this board is concerned, course correction involves getting every single nonwhite person in the country to leave, and killing/reeducating all the queers. And I don't think that kinda shit has ever worked.
Eli Phillips
Corrupting things that belong to the fhe degenerates outside Sup Forums and using them for our own purposes is fine.
Close to half of us here are NatSoc and the other half are pirates who dream of living in a lawless corporate free for all.
Elijah Sanders
So...in this scenario, if I take the red pill, I discover that I'm being secretly controlled by the government/media/Illuminati?
Man, who the fuck DOESN'T know that? Everybody knows that the people in power wanna stay in power. What does being racist and queerphobic have to do with it?
because Sup Forums is manipulated by (((them))) you haven't figured this out by now?
Juan Scott
Kys Matt Furie, you're not fooling anyone...
Austin Hill
Why shouldn't I be blase? This is Sup Forums, nothing that goes on here matters.
Asher Kelly
And your dad came in your mom by accident and then you were born. doesn't mean it still wasn't an accident.

Unironically kill yourself you pretentious faggot.
Austin Morales
Jokes on you, I'm actually Scott Ramsooair of VG Cats! Why won't you guys co-opt MY comics for political gain?
Adam Richardson
Funny story, my dad got drunk one night and actually told me the story of my conception. It's...WEIRD knowing the song you were created to the tune of.
Aiden Williams
Nah.

Tyler Nelson
"redpill" is a reminder that we were once charmed by the snake. >Pepe was Matt Furie's intellectual property. Intellectual property is a social construct well ignored here.
