No, and you bitches that let others dictate what you can day can fuck right off ๐.
I consider Pepe to be a picture. How the hell is it speech in any way?
ITT: people who sport the "Michael Jordan" mustache
People who use it are either using it as a way of displaying that they're bigots, or they don't care about the association with bigots.
There's not really any positive way to use it, so it's a giant red flag whenever I see it.
This is how I see it too.
If not for association with the alt right, I at least see it as a sign of "I am a terminally online dork who tries to portray myself as lovably pitiful so as to manipulate others" or "this is a crutch for my low self esteem" or just...well. Some of this is from my own personal biases and experiences, I'll be forward about that.
So to make a long story short, even without Nazi associations, there's no good way to use a Pepe in my experience, and no one I know who uses him frequently has been a good person.
