Rare Pepe is the "name" of the meme as far as the subject specific custom pepe images/shops go.

But I still can't believe that there is a research paper out there where there is a section which describes the researcher's "collection" of rare pepe memes with visual aide samples.

I can't believe that a presidential candidate prominently featured a page on their website attacking a stupid internet meme. I think the Aztecs fudged their calculations somehow, and it was really supposed to be 2016...
Was it not the Mayans who predicted some kind of cataclysm?

But yeah, I agree it's ridiculous how the Clinton campaign took the bait and now apparently a cartoon frog is a "hate symbol".

Well, they also think 4chan is a person... ("The hacker known as 4chan" - which has become a meme on its own)
Neither predicted a cataclysm. A certain cycle of the Mayan calendar just ended in 2012.
We though they were speaking to us in code, but really it was just emoji.
