520 What happens when an innocent character created in an
artist's early adulthood morphs into a widely recognizable
symbol of hatred only a decade later? This is the issue
that underground comic book artist Matt Furie must grapple
with as he seeks to reclaim his character, Pepe the Frog,
from the grip of the Alt-Right. In the early 2000s, San
Francisco based artist Matt Furie shared his comic Boy's
Club on the internet via MySpace. The series followed a
group of anthropomorphic post-college friends and their
misadventures. Among them was Pepe the Frog, a peaceful,
laid-back character. Managing to catch on as a popular
meme, Furie initially found Pepe's status funny and
scoffed at the idea of enforcing his legal copyright. That
opinion drastically changed as the tenor of Pepe's use
online took a sinister turn. After a bizarre series of
events, the factions of the internet that heavily
imprinted on Pepe went to the extreme lengths of "ironic"
bigotry to keep him under their control. In doing so, Pepe
became widely recognized as a hate symbol, even gaining
official recognition from the Anti-Defamation league as
such. Now thoroughly wrenched from his original context,
Pepe helped indoctrinate wide swaths of internet denizens
to the philosophies of the then-burgeoning Alt-Right
movement, helping to set the stage for the contentious
2016 election and its ultimate outcome. The film takes
viewers on a wild journey through various corners of the
internet to show how far one's creation can get away from
their original intention and explores the power of symbols
and iconography. If the genie cannot be put back in the
bottle, can it at least be transformed into something
else? Various artists, psychologists, lawyers, and
internet culture analysts also share their perspective on
this iconic cartoon frog. With trippy Furie-esque
animations, Feels Good Man puts forward a message of hope
and positivity to combat a constant cycle of cynicism and
hatred.
