PEPE

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

YEE vs. PEPE

Main Article: YEE vs PEPE

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 things like the 2020 YEE vs PEPE Olympics to prove which side was better. Ultimately, the competition didn't matter because PEPE lost as it was clearly rigged.

Origins

PEPE originated as a character in a cartoon book that was co-opted by nazis as a symbol. However, much like the N-word, it has been reclaimed, but unlike the N-word and is now used almost exclusively for good.

Uses

PEPE is the eight 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 something looking like:

Chatter: >JUST ASKING QUESTIONS BTW

Notable Controversies

Attempted Dinosaur Extinction

It is rumored that a PEPE poster was behind the attempted mass extinction of the dinosaurs

Anti-PEPE sentiment

YEE posters added context they thought people might want to know.

"PEPE is a WINNER"

Pepe is known to have won a few fan related polls leading to multiple instances of username change to Dunning-Kruger.
A few quick battles give frogs a gigantic sense of egotism while the war has not yet subsided.

"PEPE WINS 2024"

This disclaimer is notated on July 30, 2023, the initial claim previous to this date.

The year 2024 has not yet arrived. Pepe is not registered for any election ballot. While it is plausible for the Pepe emote to 'win' in some future poll or community event, it has not been demonstrated to 'win' 2024 as a whole -or 2023 for that matter.

"PEPE WINS"

Individual perspective is subjective. Unless objectively verifiable with receipts -this claim can be dismissed on face value. Depending on how you view success, winning and/or the parameters of the comparison, Pepe may lose

Pepe wins at sucking dino d*ck!

This example will be seen as controversial/insulting to most Pepe posters. Some frogs may enjoy literally sucking Yee d*ck but as a general statement, Pepe to 'win' needs a clarifying noun to have coherence.

"PEPE wins everytime there is a PEPE vs Y*E Countdown"

Claim fails to account for multiple variables and has never shown any control for this 'countdown' challenge. Countdown efforts skew towards Yee as the Pepe posters go to sleep.
Dino posters, while lower in overall emote count, post consistently through the day/night -not hindered by bedtime/homework.

"The Majority of chat is PEPE"

What some see as a Majority of Pepe in Dgg, others can access further details that factor in.
Statistics point to a very vocal but minority of users actively supporting Pepe.

"Pepe is always massively used more than the dino"

• This is a truthful statement - another phenomenon in chat is overwhelming usage of Pepe to denote racist ideology.
• Yee supporters are among them posting Pepe as they hear anyone on stream encroach racial discrimination.
• Because of this ironic Pepe posting by Yee supporters, neutral parties and poggers community, data on emote usage will always show Pepe above Yee. Not for the sake of frog vs dino superiority but by the value Pepe holds as a racism token.
• On the other hand - Yee has been unsuccessfully labeled a pedophile emote. Notable offensives such as Jonathan Zherka, Benjamin Thorp and Nicholas Fuentes have discussed or actively attempted underaged relations and yet Yee doesn't hold the same dogwhistle to this ideology. These 3 mentioned would almost assuredly accrue a wall of Pepe.
