One of the most insidious effects of internet news in general and social media in particular is that we latch to information bubbles where people spread material painting "the other" in the worst possible view. It is entirely possible that u/sprafa news feed is a place where 90% of Pepe-related content does consist of "look at what those evil racists are peddling all day long" outrage based like-bait.

The sad part is the u/sprafa may well be unable to reconcile the perspective of what he saw with his own eyes with the perspective of others, in which Pepe is merely an avatar of one's own benign emotion.

You have a point. I’ve only ever seen Pepe in r/The_Donald where it is a vile object

Appreciate the courage. Can't speak for Jordan Peterson, but there are some of us that don't have a lot of time for or interest in browsing reddit in general and political subreddits in particular. We very rarely see a Pepe meme.
