The Pepe the Frog character did not originally have racist or anti-Semitic connotations. Internet users appropriated the character and turned him into a meme, placing the frog in a variety of circumstances and saying many different things. Many variations of the meme became rather esoteric, resulting in the phenomenon of so-called "rare Pepes."

The majority of uses of Pepe the Frog have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted. This Pepe is an agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he spies on you through your computer's webcam and microphone. I hope you run Linux so you can keep Bill Gates from auto-installing those drivers and letting El Federal Pepe spy on you!
