I’m pretty sure you do. You wrote: “Good. The more bigots and racists come out into the light, the more can be identified.” This is a totally meaningless phrase in this context. As far as twitter is concerned, they *are* in the light. You are not going to make more or less of them to “come out in the light”. Moreover, it’s not the purpose of this astroturf campaign, the purpose is to take back Pepe, and if you click on the tag and scroll for a couple of pages, you’ll see that it is failing miserably.

Pretty much what I expected. Once these assholes get their claws into something it’s almost always best to write it off. Whatever his origins were Pepe is now and forever a hate symbol, in part because the artist abandoned him early on instead of using copyright law and takedown notices to defend his IP.
