Furie hates the alt-right’s appropriation of his most famous character

Furie has launched a Kickstarter for a comic zine calledSave Pepe, which aims to recreate Pepe as “a universal symbol for peace, love, and acceptance.”


The latest episode in the ongoing saga of the alt-right symbol Pepe the Frog finds its original creator, Matt Furie — who recently attempted to kill off Pepe — attempting to resurrect his character from the grave, in order to refashion him in a kinder, gentler image.

If it’s successful, the zine could finally give Pepe’s creator some peace of mind — or at least some financial return — after a“nightmare”year in which he’s seen his creation become a universally recognized symbol of white supremacy.

But it’s far more likely that the attempt will be yet another failed effort to reclaim for the general public a meme that seems to have been completely appropriated by the alt-right.

>appropriated

must eat him up that Pepe is only famous because of internet trolls.

the original pepe doesn't even look like our pepe. wtf is this faggot going on about. it could be pepe lost brother for all we know.

It's almost like he's trying to make money off of his creation.

We live in the best timeline.

>a universal symbol for peace, love, and acceptance


/our guy/?

he just doesn't get it. there is nothing he can do to take back pepe.

Pepe the Frog rises from grave to seek vengeance against alt-right

Creator Matt Furie wants to take Pepe away from the alt right

>If Pepe the Frog’s creator has anything to say about it, his creation will shake off the cloak of bigotry which has been thrown around its shoulders by members of the alt right.

>Cartoonist Matt Furie told the Associated Press that he plans on reviving Pepe after killing him off last month,according to a report by ABC News.

>To achieve this goal, he and his brother Jason have started a crowdfunding campaign to raise $10,000 for the publication of a Pepe comic book. In addition, Furie has hired attorney Kimberly Motley to explore legal options against alt right-ists who have used Pepe’s image to promote their cause without the creator’s permission.

That guy is cracking up. There is no escape for him now. If he created totally new characters, they would be memed into even worse characters than Pepe.

If he were totally shekel-oriented, he would go even more natsoc than Steven Crowder, and make Pepe a complete Jared Taylor-quoting, race-realist shitlord.

All he's gonna do is provide more content for the memers. Which I'm completely fine with. Can't wait

His creation has truly taken on a life of its own, separate from him. Better. I wonder what it feels like? Probably not good.

Landwulf is a SS officer.

What a butthurt fucking faggot.

>Creator Matt Furie wants to take Pepe away from the alt right
No, jews are harassing him into doing this.

>Kickstarter to recreate Pepe
>Give me your money for a poorly drawn frog image
That'd be like getting marvel to publish sonichu

Has this retarded fucker really not realized how memes work yet?

But Pepe is the frog of peace

Here is one from his first attempt at taking it back.

when you put it that way I think we should back him

he surrendered his character by killing him canonically in his only claim to its existence

should have thought that one thorough

why the appropriating though, can Sup Forums create their new character for meme?

...

no one would know about pepe without us we are his creator now

Use the patron troll technique
Promise money then retract it before the payday

You know we have fully assimilated Zyklon Ben when he puts the Sup Forums logo into his comics.

Of course we can, toothpaste, I just created Luuk van Luuk, the Rape Capybara just for this post, pic related.

But this cartoonist has already shown how buttblasted he gets by Sup Forums's use of Pepe, which is an open ended invitation to troll hard. He's a punching bag for Sup Forums, same as LaBoeuf.

...

>needing money to spread something on the internet

>oyy bey

pepe redesigns anone?

he actually tried pic related

When will Furie finally break and start accepting our commissions?

Stop ruining Benny's comics. Post the unedited version please.

>needs a kickstarter to change his creation

i wonder what (((he's))) trying to do

Wasn't he amused by usage of Pepe before the elections?

Anybody?

what a fucking cuck, instead of understanding and embracing what pepe became he's trying change it.

Always pee with your pants up, or you'll turn into a hate symbol

>the alt-right

I do miss when he was mostly used for expressing sad feels. I miss old Internet culture in general.

Funny shit with cultural appropriation. Niggers do that thanksgiving dinner meme shit. American niggers literally just cook southern food and act like it's their shit. We taught them how to cook for us southerners and then they act like that's culturally nigger food. They ate cow shit and berries before we brought those cotton picking apes over here and taught them how to cook.

Real nigger food is raccoon and clay.

>2017
>people still don't understand what a meme is and how it works
It's like I've been taking crazy pills for the past 5 years.

...

>crowd funding

How much does it cost to draw a fucking cartoon? It's honestly pathetic, he most literally be on the verge of living on the street if he's begging like this.

...

lmao what the fuck are they going to do, hunt down and sue people that posted pepe memes on Sup Forums and twitter?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Version with Nazi arm band?

>most famous character
nobody knows who the fuck this guy is and they certainly don't associate Pepe with him.

Nice. I just donated $20 so we can get some new Pepe material to make Nazi memes with.

...

...

It's funny that he doesn't realize the only reason Pepe got any fame was because of Sup Forums, way before Pepe realized that National Socialism was the one true path

I kek'd user well done.

Pepe is happier with us anyway

Will he ever give up trying to make himself famous from this?

"Pepe is love"

His most famous character... that is only famous because it was taken from him.

Pepe was degenerate before we adopted him.

>rebranding my frog god
never

pepe is no longer yours to control, matthew.

we should crowdfund a lawsuit against him and put pepe into the public domain

HE BELONGS TO THE MEMES

Can't even raise $10,000 what a f**

...

He loves Pepe and he loves that we liberated him because it's his claim to fame.
All the rest is bollocks.

how would you think you could ever take pepe back from shit like this

or this

How does he not know trying reclaim something the internet has taken and made into another thing is impossible? Are the kikes forcing him to do it?

I doubt he gives much of a shit and just wants to get some sweet shekels out of all this.

...

Eh, he'll come around in a couple of years just like Zyklon Ben.

>he thinks le ebin Nazi is the worst thing we've done with pepe
Does that mean he doesn't know pee pee poo poo pepe exists? Should we educate him?

>I just created Luuk van Luuk, the Rape Capybara just for this post
i'm fucking crying

u stole my post, or i stole yours :(

pepe has achieved more with us than some liberal faggot could have ever hoped for him, pic related

Considering he once browsed these boards, he should be aware that once content is released into the internet you have lost all control of it.

In 8 years, this lazy shit never gave a single flying fuck about us claiming Pepe as our own. He had already abandoned his Boys Club comic altogether long ago. It wasn't until last year that he suddenly started pretending to care. He only resumed activity because the ADL started paying him $10,000 USD per month to make a big spectacle over muh ebil gnadzis molesting his frog. You don't hear that this is the reason because he isn't allowed to tell you this. He isn't allowed because he signed an NDA.

exactly, or this. i have several threads worth of pepes like these, and my collection is far from complete

we should

Or he IS aware, but is also aware "reclaiming" pepe plus kickstarter equals free money and wants to go full jew

> mfw i need a hug cause i am the bastard son of a liberal

...

unrecoverable

Jesus Christ, someone backed 5 grand to this project? What the hell?

The total is at 15k on Kickstarter?

Who wants this shit?

Did Furie LITERALLY believe that killing off pepe in his comic was going to stop the mean racists on the internet from using their memes? Is he so out of touch that he thinks any of the people who use pepe memes actually follow and care about boys club?

YOU CAN'T FUCKING TAKE HIM BACK, FURIE, PEPE IS OURS NOW AND FOREVER

*hug*

I think we need a Dolan revival to aid Pepe in this war.

this isn't pepe, user

there is no way to recover your image after shit like this

johnny fucking cochran couldn't acquit you of this shit

...

>Silence of the Lambs reference
I miss the 90s when it was still okay to openly consider trannies to be disgusting freaks who probably want to wear your skin and who should all be put to death
it was the primary plot point in a mainstream movie and everyone was okay with it

>dolan j trump
it's perfect

>trying to gain fame as the creator of a meme

ISHYGDDT

...

This retard has clearly never heard of the Streisand effect

Fuck off redditor

This is Pepe Jr, that's what I call him anyway

I'm 90% sure he doesn't actually care about politics and is just doing this to scam leftists.

>Furie's fw

rip the 90s

IS DONALD!!!
