I saw the rare pepe one on twitter.
I feel like many people, like myself, have a negative impression of pepe due to its co-opting by gross ideologies (eg groups that are labeled "alt-right" by msm, which makes me associate them with white supremacists, etc.) - even though I'm aware of how it started out ("feels good, man").
So, in that piece I see something that started out fine and was beat up by its captors and anyone with a stake in creating fear and separation (the MSM).
It's embracing a new technology who appears to be relaxed and enjoying it. Who is perhaps unaware of the negative undertones of the thing that is embracing it?
But that's the thing with decentralized anonymous things (ie blockchain tech), it takes all kinds, the good with the bad. Just how humans are capable of the most evil and the most good and everything in between. Free will allows us to choose how we act. So there is always the choice as to how these new technologies are implemented and used, and perhaps it's time for people in general to understand this principle (because I don't think many people do).
