This post has content warnings for: Racism, Homophobia, And those goddamned Pepe Frogs specifically.
the way dogwhistles work is due to their element of plausible deniability, the fact that a lot of people wouldn't pick up on things, the fact that the connections can be opaque, the fact that they maintain acceptable to post, engage with, and circulate.
the fact that they are so widespread & so innocent-seeming that people calling that shit out seem paranoid or getting worked up over nothing.
all this allows for racists, alt-right, neo-nazis, what-have-you dangerous bigots, to make posts very much about their beliefs and the way they see the world,
& people who should, people who would usually, fight back and try and shut it down, see it and go
Haha. pepehands
they're so fucking ugly too dude. i don't care if you tell me the creator reclaimed them or you think they're funny. these things are all over gaming spaces and i hate looking at them, your chat/discord community/whatever deserves better emotes than the racist frog.
I kid, I absolutely would have tripped if I hadn't seen this
