You think you can kill a meme, Furie?
Matt Furie is a desperate loser whose only claim to fame is pretending to have invented Pepe, even though everyone knows the true creator of Pepe is a hacker known as 4chan.
Seeing how Pepe’s star is falling, displaced by the younger and fresher upstart Groyper, he decides to attack not only meme enthusiasts, but the PC master race itself.
That’s right – he’s fucking with the Gaben.
You’re making some dangerous enemies for yourself, Matt. I hope you can handle it.
Steam has removed icons featuring Matt Furie’s cartoon frog Pepe from its platform, part of Furie’s larger legal battle to wrest the character away from the far right. As reported by Kotaku, users began complaining yesterday that Pepe and Pepe-like emoticons had disappeared from their inventory. The developer of a game called Make America Great Again: The Trump Presidency wrote that they’d removed their emoticons after Steam received a legal order. “If we sign a thing that says [Furie] can sue us and not them Valve will put it back up,” they wrote. “At the moment we’re not going to sign that because going to court is… bad even if we’re right.”
If I had meticulously collected rare foil Pepe icons, only to have them taken away by some douchebag, I’d be mad as well.
They’re just… gone. Only a black void remains.
Furie’s lawyer August Louis Tompros told Kotaku that he didn’t proactively single out Steam. “A Steam user let us know that there were Pepe images being sold on the site, and that they were being used on that site by people in connection with hateful speech. We asked Steam to take those down, and it appears that it has done that.”
Furie has previously pledged to stop anyone from misappropriating Pepe, who originally appeared in the comic Boy’s Club, “in any way that espouses racism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, Nazism, or any other form of hate.” He filed a successful complaint against the author of a children’s book that used Pepe’s likeness in a veiled anti-Islam allegory.
Furie’s thoughtless actions have only accelerated the collapse of the Pepe market.
Look at these prices… This is a disaster.
Most investment-savvy members of the Alt-Right have already sold all the Pepe stocks and are moving their holdings to Groyper-based properties, which knowledgeable experts are quite bullish about.
Matt Furie believes that he can salvage his life and career by taking down all the Pepes on the internet, leaving him with the only remaining stock. But demand for Pepes is falling. No matter how much he tries to lower the offer side, there’s no hope for him. This is what happens when you’re a one-meme man.
Not only is Furie against all other memes, but he believes he has a right to determine how people should use his favorite one as well.
Sad.
Now, as a result of his assault on Steam and it’s lord Gaben, it is believed that both the forces of 4chan and the PC master race will wage an eternal war of revenge against him.
May God have mercy on his soul.
