"Frog Pepe" born from the web comic book " Boy's Club " has been widely used as a symbol of racial discrimination by the alternate right wing against multiculturalism and immigration from around 2015. In the original, Pepe is drawn simply as "Frog that smokes slowly and marijuana", and racial discrimination is not intended by Mr. Matt Fury of the author, Furie says this image with a hash tag of "#SavePepe" I was doing the reversing exercise.

Mr. Fury asked a lawyer from around 2017 and started recapturing Pepe. He urged Richard B. Spencer , a Caucasian supremacist, to "stop using Pepe as a logo in a podcast". However, it is difficult to wipe out the image of Pepe, and in May 2017 Fury who gave up Pepe's recapture is trying to regain the character in the way that draws Pepe's dead scene and a funeral.

One of the sites that I used to symbolize Pepe as a symbol is The Daily Stormer, Neo Nazi's website founded in 2013 by Andrew Anglin. The Daily Stormer, when a white supremacist rally was held in the Charlottesville, USA, cars pierced people protesting and after having abused the victim about one case where the dead came out, the domain · The contract was canceled from GoDaddy and Google, a major hosting service. After that, The Daily Stormer moved to the Internet "Dark Web" of the dark world .

The Daily Stormer who was rejected by multiple ISPs where it is not related to copyright has been relocated and it took time to withdraw the use of Pepe from copyright infringement. However, as more than 40 articles that infringed copyright were withdrawn or images were replaced, lawyer Louis Tompros finally saw the problem solved.

The actual replacement image looks like the following.



However, Pepe's fighting is not finished. Since Alex Jones , hosting radio show, had sold Pepe's posters online on his own site "Infowars", Mr. Fury filed a lawsuit and eventually the poster was removed from the site. Likewise, Amazon has sold hundreds of items of Pepe as a symbol of Hate, saying that it is in the state of "Melting Tiger".

Speaking of copyright infringement, Amazon is very supportive of Mr. Fury 's activities. Mr. Tompros envisioned a positive future about the treatment of Pepe, "Although attorneys dealing intellectual property rights do not participate in Anti · Neo Nazi campaign in many cases, we have preparation." I will.
