what does groyper mean

The term "Groyper" refers to a large, green cartoon toad often depicted with a mischievous expression, similar to the Pepe the Frog meme. Politically, "Groypers" are members or followers of a far-right nationalist movement in the U.S. associated with white nationalism, Christian nationalism, and alt-right ideologies. The movement originated online and is known for its opposition to liberal values, feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigration. Groypers seek to appeal primarily to Generation Z and disaffected conservatives, positioning themselves as more extreme than mainstream conservatism. The name "Groyper" is derived from the cartoon toad meme, which is a variation of Pepe the Frog with racist-coded use. The movement is led by figures such as Nick Fuentes and is characterized by white nationalist, nativist, and homophobic beliefs, often wrapped in traditional Christian nationalist rhetoric.
