I inserted a 👌 emoji in a #Telegram chat (in absence of a chef-kissing-fingers emoji) and the second sticker it suggested me was a fucking Pepe.

If it’s another example of machine learning picking up bad cues from their users, this is worrying. If it’s deliberate, it’s a huge red flag.

@miramarco was it pepe or some banker frog? because I (unwillingly) use telegram too and was recently suggested the latter
anyway the whole cultural landscape emerging from sticker packs is gloomy, from elon musk to political memes, most stickers are just depressing..

btw I remember a few articles/interviews where pepe's creator attempted to undo its alt-right appropriation but it clearly didn't work... at this point we can definitely call that icon ruined no matter what
