a) Some Alt-Nazis are saying that they'll continue using the frog as a "FUCK YOU" to the artist.

b) Others are planning to steal another character from the same artist as a "FUCK YOU" to the artist.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Killing Pepe was probably a mistake honestly, it just seems like giving up and letting them win some feel good points.

Killing Pepe was the artist making sure that everyone know that they do not support Alt-Nazis. And now when the Alt-Nazis use Pepe the artist can go "that character is dead, I no longer draw it."

This is like if you had invented Captain America and then someone rewrote him into being a Nazi. Even if you can't stop people from using the character like that you would like to make sure that everyone knows that you did not intend to make a character who supports National socialism.

I think people knew that already because the cartoonist distanced himself from the alt-right a couple of times. Killing a comic character just seems silly to me. If I were him I'd just have said: "If you guys have to steal another's character because you lack any creativity and talent to make up your own cartoon figure, oh then have it! Unless you, I can make up something new."

I'd have just sued them for copyright infringement.

...How many Youtube channels do the Alt-Nazis have? It would be amusing to have Youtube start taking their videos down if they have even a single frog in their video...

Besides, how many would you bet are little dipshit rednecks with more spare time than either money or brain cells?  See just how quickly places like YouTube and 4chan get rid of them when legal threats start coming in.

Is it sad that I always thought the vocalist in that song was a woman?

Eh, Garrison's got a point. Pepe's taken on a life of its own independent of Furie, so any "Pepe is dead" gestures on its creator's part aren't really relevant to the broader use of the character, however much Furie might dislike that use.
Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

To which I reiterate: lawsuit.  They are using his intellectual property without his permission, he is legally capable of seeking damages from any infringing party he chooses.  You'd be surprised how fast touching someone's money gets their attention.
