@anthracite it comes from this twitch emote, called "PogChamp", which is used to comment a particularly cool or impressive moment
re: nazi symbolism
@xenon @anthracite pretty sure most people don't use it for that (and many people use pepe without being nazis)
re: nazi symbolism
@xenon @anthracite but I'm not super in with twitch culture anyways
re: nazi symbolism
@noiob @anthracite if you lookup "poggers" it's entirely pepe, and all definitions of it involve the pepe derivative
and i'm sure there are non nazis that use pepe unknowingly, but that doesn't make it ok
nazi symbolism
@noiob @anthracite hey, just wanted to add the "poggers" is actually a pepe derivative of "PopChamp" rather than being slang for the original emote
