>>1624711What wrecked the pepster is that people take him too fucking seriously, and anywhere he goes becomes a black hole for original content as everything is centralized on him. If you want /bant/ to become /r9k/ clone #4, you can bugger off to
>>>/qa/ and
>>>/tv/ where he's already undermined the culture. Many of the people on /bant/ left /pol/ precisely to avoid that drama.
He's part of the reason that 4chan is so slow making new OC these days, because all efforts get focused on him and anything non-frog is thrown under the bus. The Not!Pep and Anti!Pep figures didn't have to be groundbreaking memes, their purpose was keeping him out of /bant/ and making sure that Kekistan and its ilk is slid off this board unceremoniously.
