Just after Tanabata, have you received a "lonely widow frog" sent to you by a friend on Tanabata? Xiao Ya received one, but looking at the ugly and cute widow frog, Xiao Ya was angry, idle is also idle, so she turned over some other memes of the lonely frog, and it turned out that the lonely widow frog that we disliked on Tanabata was actually a big deal!
In fact, the lone widow frog has only been in the past two years to re-enter the special festival of Tanabata, and slowly entered everyone's sight. But what you don't know is. In fact, as early as 2006, in T. Fury's comic strip "Boys Club", it appeared as a comic book. At that time, it didn't have its own name, just a plain little frog.
But it may also be because this image is too magical, after a few years, with the development of network technology, the boom of multimedia imaging has completely exploded, and countless buzzwords and popular network IPs have emerged in an endless stream. The character quickly evolved into an independent meme that became popular on Myspace and 4chan.
By 2015, this ugly image had been molded and recreated countless times, resulting in a variety of images and memes. That year he finally got his own name, Rare Pepe, and that same year, a collection of 1,200 rare Pepe images hit the shelves on eBay and was said to have cost $99,166 before it was removed from the site. Until 2016, as an NFT, it appeared in a peer-to-peer market. So, if you pull out a timeline of all the products of NFTJ so far, then you have to label Pepe Frog as a veteran.
Supposedly, 2015 should be the year pepe frog reached its peak, but in the same year, some right-wingers in the 4chan forum gave the poor Pepe frog a Nazi symbol, as well as various political motifs that promoted white supremacy. It is reasonable to say that this kind of boring move is just a small brain hole of netizens. But coincidentally, some of Trump's statements during the campaign campaign catered to the anti-political correctness of 4chan netizens.
Netizens were shocked, so they immediately began a spoof of trump and pepe frog images together. And this ridiculous move has also attracted Trump's attention... So in October 2015, Trump retweeted a picture of a "sad frog" on Twitter, accompanied by the words "You can't stop Trump." As soon as the picture came out, another competitor, Hillary Clinton, couldn't hold her breath, and she angrily denounced most of Trump's supporters as "a bunch of garbage." And a serious condemnation was made. But it doesn't matter...
The most interesting thing is that Trump's young son, after learning about the matter, hit back on Instagram with a spoof, P-pass poster and named it "Shameless Team", in which Pepe "appeared" and stood with Trump and Trump Jr.
As soon as this picture came out, Hillary's team immediately blew up, immediately fought back, made an attitude on their own campaign website, criticized the comic, and posted: Trump, "Sad Frog" and white supremacist, this cartoon frog is much more evil than you think! Connect the ugly pepe frog with white supremacy.
The atmosphere goes on here, and even if the image of Pepe Frog itself does not have any political tendencies, under the rendering of netizens and the media, Pepe is finally added to its database of hate symbols. This means that Pepe frogs will always be labeled as racially discriminatory and white supremacist tendencies.
Speaking of this, Xiao Ya said that the Pepe frog is really a big wronged species... So, in order not to let his work continue to be splashed with dirty water, Frie chose to write it to death in his own work, poor Pepe frog, who was only 12 years old when he lay in the coffin!
Although saying pepe frog's nominal death does not stop extremists from continuing to give it some bad meaning. But in the end, it ended this ridiculous, inexplicable farce. So, now you know why the widow frog is so sad? It is the real and true great injustice!
