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!

He lives on in our hearts.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.

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

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.
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
I'd have just sued them for copyright infringement.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?
Lawsuit.
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?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

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.
