Add to SetSummary
Pepe the Frog--created by Matt Furie--first appeared in the digital comic, "Boy's Club." The anthropomorphic frog subsequently became a popular Internet meme. In 2015, alt-right and white nationalist groups misappropriated Pepe, causing the Anti-Defamation League to designate him as a hate symbol. Furie and the ADL formed the #SavePepe campaign to end the misuse of Pepe by others.
