"His father" created a cultural icon, which spread as a meme, funny one. He was still able to sell merch at that point if not more than before.
Then a group of internet nazis co-opted it. Lets make that temporary and allow "his father" to start selling merch again.
Icons and symbols are powerful, if you willingly give them away to people with feble scared little word views then you are handing away that power and losing a battle with them

I googled "antifa pepe" to find this image



but all the other search results have me thinking that using effort on that particular front would be wasteful and foolish.

In short, why should my change my behaviour because of the activities of a group of shitty people?
I like memes and anyone who tries to use them to push their agenda can go under the steamroller

Because shitty people doing shitty things affects everyone. Reacting to stimuli around you makes you alive.

Not willingly parting with something you enjoy to racists is a reaction, a far more valuable one then giving them a platform or any acknowledgement as human beings is to invalidate anything they would try enjoy. I enjoy memes, I enjoy not giving a fuck about what nazis think. I will continue to do both

Actionable nazi items:
A racist posts on this forum -> ban them
A racist says something idiotic in real life -> confront them
A racist tries to harm someone -> harm them instead

Non actionable items:
A racist somewhere else on the internet posts memes, some of which you like but have a different context when used. This becomes actionable if a racist appears and uses them here to support racist views. A meme in and of itself does not belong to the subhuman, it belongs to everyone

While I get you, I'm still not gonna give someone sporting swastika as "an ancient hindu symbol" a benefit of the doubt.

The frog man might be different, but we all know what's the association we can't not think about.
"I want to be the Borg but I want to do it alone."

Faust

"Feels good man" is the association I have with that image, from when I saw it, possibly like 10+ years ago. It's all context.

I would agree with the swastika as for me and I assume it doesn't doesnt have any other context, unless the context was I was in India at one of the temples that still holds the mark (even then I think the traditional hindu version has a set of 4 dots in it and faces the opposite way).

I'm fine with that.

It's just the passive aggressive "sorry if you're offended"-esque bullshit that irked me, when he knows damn well why it raised eyebrows.

Yeah, hints and vibes of outlandish, hopefully there is a good creme for that
