I've literally never heard of that being a white power thing, is there any credence to that like at all?
no. it was a 4chan hoax.
Just like Pepe being appropriated by neo-nazis. Idk man, pretty easy to claim a meme is just a prank while ignoring the people that don't treat it that way themselves.
Because they are ignorant of the fact that they were completely fooled by the media's poor fact-checking attempts before reporting on it just like TC here? When the motherfucking ADL says it isn't real, you better goddamn listen.
If I cry about the boogyman long enough he is real.
