The Best Gritty Memes
When the alt-right co-opted Pepe the Frog, left-winged memers had a difficult time coming with a mascot of their own. However, when the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers debuted their new mascot nearly a month ago, the left may have just found its… Man? Ball? Thing??? Gritty may be ugly and slightly more terrifying than any other mascot in professional sports, but this led to him being widely accepted by the city of Philadelphia, already a bit of a haven for lefty sports Twitter. That Gritty would come to be used to express lefty-sentiments in memes was the next logical step. The perfect storm of circumstances brought Gritty to Antifa, and a ridiculous subgenre of memes was born.

Gritty isn't the Left's answer to Pepe.
He's their answer to Moon-Man, except they lack the lyrical talent to actually make the parody songs so they just stick with the ultraviolent drawings.

first of all, pepe isnt alt-right, for the love of fuck stop trying to imply its theirs when its not. Just because the media or old corrupt woman says it is doesnt make it so.
second, i feel pretty bad for the team. Having their mascot associated with violent commie incels. What a rotten way to ruin it's image.

When I read "gritty" I was hoping for some edgy jokes about, I don't know, raping baby seals or whatever, not whatever this is.
