Welcome to Flat Earth People Everywhere (FEPE), aka “the tip
of the beak”.
NOTE: For the first installment of the “FEPE BEATS WORLD”
comic, scroll down to the bottom of this post or CLICK HERE.
For those of you already living life at the tip of the beak,
no explanation is necessary. For everyone else, what follows is a concentrated
break down of the emperor penguin phenomenon known as FEPE (as understood from
my perspective). There are no doubt many details regarding FEPE’s emergence
that I have not been privy to… which is part of its inherent power; many hundreds
if not thousands of independent, unique individuals are constantly adding to
the FEPE library every day.
FEPE popped into existence (original artist of the
meme-think illustration is unknown, at least by me) as a direct counter-point
to the alt-right mascot, PEPE the frog.
It utilized the same visual style but carried with it one, hyper-focused
message: the earth is flat (or, perhaps more concisely, the earth is not a spinning
ball). The YouTube channel Infinite Plane Society introduced FEPE during a live stream session… and invited
everyone to participate in a tidal wave of meme creation. IPS can often be heard referencing the “deep,
soulful eyes” of FEPE, and looking into those giant eight balls of truth, it is
difficult to deny that some incredibly sorrowful knowing exists in them. In
each eye, three white dots, producing the infamous “33”, a number that gets 50%
of the internet in hysterics on sight (more on intentional illuminati symbol
appropriation tactics at a later date). The beak itself is a reference to Occam’s
Razor—the simplest explanation most often being the correct one—and is
sharpened to perfection for the purpose of puncturing the cartoon ball known as
the globe and cutting through the faith-based dogma of scientism. Pay no heed to the crusty chocolate milk mustache... some aspects of FEPE are now and will forever be a mystery.
The Daily Plane website has the live stream birth
of FEPE archived. You can view the first introduction of the mighty penguin
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prn7NRh4zOE
Incredibly, this birth took place only a few short weeks
back on June 2. From then to now…
thousands of FEPE memes, artworks and animations have been produced. The
community of people responsible for this relentless onslaught are as diverse as
they are creative… ranging across all age groups and socio-political
backgrounds. Each individual brings a wholly unique perspective to their FEPE
offerings.
Search #FEPE on twitter for a look at some of the tremendous meme creations being cranked out daily.
FEPE is loved. FEPE is hated. All creations with any amount
of MOJO experience these two extremes. For many, Flat Earth People Everywhere
represents a kind of “coming home” after months or even years of feeling
isolated by their flat earth awakening. Via this meme-think penguin, people
across the world have found each other and are free to express their flat earth
(and other) passions not only unencumbered by judgment, but embraced by
authentic encouragement and support. For
others, FEPE represents some kind of hostile take-over of the flat earth topic…
something that may turn people away or frighten them with its very intentional
nods to occult numerology/fear porn.
It really makes no difference which side of the fence you
are on. FEPE is here to stay, and FEPE has but one goal at the tip of the beak:
bring the RESEARCH FLAT EARTH message to every single human being alive. Anything
that distracts from this mission is NOT tip of the beak… which does not mean it is unimportant; only that work at the tip of the beak cannot allow itself to be
deterred from spreading the flat earth truth as far and as wide as possible. FEPE
is unflappable.
This blog will be bringing you the best of FEPE I encounter every week, as well as philosophical and/or comedic meanderings from the tip of the
beak. It will also be home to a new
comic entitled “FEPE BEATS WORLD”, the first installment of which can be viewed
below.
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the comic!
