    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.

      … You didn’t have a problem with it when it was a memecoin? Doge jumped the shark YEARS before that even happened

      Par for the course. Nazis have done the same thing to everything from Pepe the frog to the swastika itself.

        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.

        It’s from Homestar Runner originally and unfortunately the Nazis picked the correct pronunciation

        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!
