Revision as of 01:11, 18 April 2022
Pepe the Frog, also known by a few as the Grinch, is a fictional character best known for having a vaguely-stilted neutral pose, which can be interpreted as a wide spectrum of emotions. This is similar to Doge, Wojak or the Mona Lisa (unironically). Pepe's nonspecific emotion makes him suitable as a generic reaction image and as the mandatory thread-starting image that is required by most imageboards, giving rise to the phrase "What does the reddit frog have to do with this".
Pepe came from some webcomic nobody gives a shit about.
Frogposters
Frogposters are a group of 4chan users who routinely post Pepe to the point of obsession.[1] They are commonly accused of making low-quality or nonsensical posts,[2] and are often criticized for being whiny.[3] Their ultimate motive is unknown, but we hope it is benevolent.
Relationship with Soyposters
Frogposters and 'jakkers have traditionally expressed solidarity as they are both 4chan outcasts.[4][5]
Due to the fact that Pepe is such a broad image with little expectation of being related to the post material, Soyteens sometimes make soy-related posts on /bant/ using Pepe[6] in order to survive deletion by janny because, like Cirno, jannies do not consider Pepe spam. This development has been criticised by frogposters.[7]
On January 8th, 2022, a frogposter on /g/ admitted to reporting The Party for CP (which he totally didn't post himself) and successfully getting it taken down.[8][9] Soot later corroborated his story, confirming it to be true. This almost broke the long-lasting detente between the two groups, particularly as some frogposters seemed to celebrate it[10][11] as a "total frogposter victory".[12] Since then, the relations have been very tense. With some forgiving them, and others totally distrusting them and calling him by the nickname of Redditfrog. [13][14]
Criticism
On September 12th, 2016, the f*moid Benghazi Butcher Killiary KKKlinton released a blogpost in which she criticised Pepe for being "sinister".[15]
