also i know its semantics but the frog in the OP is a peepo, not Pepe. im pretty sure peepo massively increased in popularity from the Frenworld/Honkler nazi subreddits
i feel bad for the artist. that was his art. his little guy, his creation. it was taken from him. i cant imagine losing a piece of your art to some of the worst types of people humanity has to offer.

Failing is life brother. Rocky said it best: "It ain't about how hard you can hit. Its about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward"

The original artist is trying to reclaim pepe from hate groups, and imo has created some cool animations in doing so

I don't think Matt furie has actually abandoned pepe. He has posted his own pepe animations around 2021, which is still pretty recent.
E.g.
