The image features “Pepe” the green frog character created by racist bigoted 4chan kids who think gay people should be killed by the state.

Although originally an apolitical character in Furie’s works and its original internet popularity, Pepe was appropriated from 2015 onward as a symbol of the alt-right white nationalist movement.[7][8][9] The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) included Pepe in its hate symbol database in 2016, but said most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.[10][11] Since then, Furie has expressed his dismay at Pepe being used as a hate symbol and has sued organizations for doing so

Pepe was not created by 4channers, only popularized by them. It was an unrelated cartoonist that created the character to espouse the joy of pulling your pants all the way down to pee
