PEPE is a popular emote used by extremely cool chatters who think anime is bad. All PEPE posters are well adjusted and have healthy social lives. PEPE is notorious for WINNING, always.

YEE vs. PEPE

Main Article: YEE vs PEPE
See Also: Y*E

For as long as time has been a concept, YEE and PEPE have been at war. It leads to harsh words, violence, and ultimately culminates in events like the 2020 YEE vs PEPE Olympics to prove which side is better. Ultimately, the competition didn't matter ~~because PEPE lost~~ as it was clearly rigged.

YEE vs. PEPE is best understood through the ever-topical lens of Israel-Palestine. PEPE is Israel, YEE are the Palestinians, this is illustrated by the fact that:

PEPE always wins (much like Israel)
PEPE has unsubstantiated claims of orchestrating a Dino genocide
They are perpetually at war (because YEE is always instigating)
PEPE-posters are constantly framed as being Nazis

Origins

PEPE originated as a character in a cartoon book that was co-opted by nazis as a symbol, leading many to argue it is a symbol of hate. However, much like the N-word, it has been reclaimed and has the potential to be used for good.

Uses

PEPE is the sixth most common emote posted in DGG chat.

PEPE WINS

Frequently, PEPE posters will demolish YEE-tards in chat by seeing who can get either:

The highest combo count
The most PEPE or YEE emotes sprawled across the chat

When the battle is over, PEPE posters all spam "PEPE WON" or a variation thereof, while the YEE posters cry at their keyboards and state that they never lose.

PEPE

More often, PEPE is used to signal something that is racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, etc. by either responding to something someone said on stream, e.g. If Nick Fuentes starts talking about or referencing holocaust denialism, chat might respond by posting just the PEPE emote, or JAQing off (as PEPE posters love ~~jacking~~ JAQing off):

Chatter: >JUST ASKING QUESTIONS

Notable PEPE posters

Dan poses for the camera to show that his support for PEPE and the mainstream popularity it has received.

Naturally, since PEPE is the better emote, it is used more often and by more prominent individuals.
