Pepe the Frog emoticons have been removed from the Steam Marketplace
http://www.pcgamer.com/pepe-the-frog-emoticons-have-been-removed-from-the-steam-marketplace/
Pepe the Frog first appeared in 2005 in Matt Furie's comic Boy's Club, but courtesy of the efforts of 4chan and other sites is better known, in the online world at least, as a meme. It's taken on an uglier connotation in more recent years, however, as a sort of mascot of the alt-right, which led Furie to take a more aggressive approach to protecting his IP rights. That effort, as Motherboard reported in September, resulted in legal notices being served to Richard Spencer, Baked Alaska, Mike Cernovich, Reddit, and Amazon.
Now Furie has turned his attention to Steam.

Owen Wilson's famous "wow! " might be just a meme, but in the right context it can make anything seem impressive and cool. That's just how I feel every time my Demon Hunter in World of Warcraft scores a critical hit now that I've installed this mod by redditor 'SweetsourNostradamus.'
