"In the past two years [Pepe The Frog] has been co-opted by the so-called “alt-right,” an umbrella term that covers various nationalist, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, anti-Islamic and racist groups. Pepe was sometimes pictured in a Nazi uniform or wearing a pointy white Ku Klux Klan hood."

Hold Up.

Please carefully review: https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/31059

Specifically:
"- Keep Language to PG-13. Avoid foul language. This should be self-explanatory. If you break the rule, a guide or administrator may edit your post to censor it. Consider this act a warning, and avoid repeating this in the future."

Now also review: https://www.vendetta-online.com/h/conduct.html

Specifically:
"You may not organize nor be a member of any guilds or groups within Vendetta Online that are based on, or espouse, any racist, sexist, anti-religious, anti-ethnic, anti-gay, or other hate-mongering philosophy."

Bottom line: Pepe is unwelcome here. Neither I nor GSW have accused you of being a Nazi.
