This play uses the figure of Pepe the Frog, a comic character who became a famous meme for tackling white supremacists. Indeed, the figure of Pepe the Frog, first of all a meme pronouncing values ​​of friendship, was taken over by the conservative extreme right to disseminate its racist propaganda. And this, despite the efforts of its creator, Matt Furie, who finally decided to symbolically kill his character as a sign of protest.
The setting in abyss of Pepe insulting those who recovered and dirtied it, allows to play on the notion of "meta" very present in the sphere of the same internet. Pepe has a half-plugged mouth representing his opposite dual use, while his eyes are opposite to Sad Pepe's (first meme), in order to bring a sense of transcendence into his nature. His hand appears giving a middle finger to those to whom it is addressed, namely those who have picked it up and the sentence clearly establishes Pepe's meta and first position "fuck white suprematists".
