>>122269453It’s true that no one really cares about Pepe that much. I mean if you did a random poll of 100 people’s favorite Looney Tunes character, I’d be surprised if Pepe got more than 5% of the vote. The real issue is that people don’t like being told they can’t freely enjoy something, and when you have one group unilaterally deciding that Pepe should be totally off limits because they feel no room for argument that the character is irredeemable and must be buried, it will inevitably cause a knee jerk reaction that makes people want to defend him. It’s like, pecan ice cream may not be everyone’s favorite flavor, but if someone came along and decided that no one should have it because some are allergic to pecans, I guarantee you’d have a huge outpouring of demand to keep the flavor on the shelves.
