I'm still fucking bitter that the meme Elon latched onto was Doge. I fucking loved that meme and hate that it now has ties to fucking fascism.
The swastika was a sign of positivity until the 1920s
Kabosu does not deserve to have her legacy tainted by Elon Musk. She was a good girl.
Par for the course. Nazis have done the same thing to everything from Pepe the frog to the swastika itself.
Yeah, the point of dog whistles is to fly under the radar. Which means they steal popular symbols to use, so they can have the plausible deniability of “lol we were just posting memes about a comic frog” if anyone confronts them for their nazi shit.
Do I remember correctly that Pepe dies in the comic because the author didn't want to keep producing material for them to hijack?
To me, it's ok, because the people behind it pronounce it dōj and I always pronounced it doggy. So now we know the evil pronunciation is dōj.
How about “dodgy”, so that describes the department and their behaviour?
It's from Homestar Runner originally and unfortunately the Nazis picked the correct pronunciation
Of course they did, they are evil.
;_; but I pronounce it that way - like the old Venetian head of state.
The power of doggy compels you
Doggy is a pretty damn cute name for the meme
I pronounce it like doge. You know, like dog but with a long o, since that's normally what happens when you add an e at the end of a word.
Con, cone.
Dog, doge!
... You didn't have a problem with it when it was a memecoin? Doge jumped the shark YEARS before that even happened
Nope, dogecoin was a memecoin not a scam oriented shitcoin.
Wasn't it massively pre-mined, i.e. scam?
But it never seemed worth caring or worrying about
But he knew what it was and it was fun. Now? It's fascism tearing apart this country from the inside, run by two racist ass holes, one a rapist and sexual predator that acts like he's 6
Sadly wasn’t sure which one you were referring to with your last statement. I guess there aren’t public allegations of rape against Musk, just sexual harassment. Fuck this timeline.
