This is 100% correct.

WRONG!

Kek is an Egyptian deity, a humanoid figure with a frog head. Which is funny because Pepe was taken from the liberals, namely the creator Matt Furie... and then the uncanny resemblances and similarities to historical cultural happenings and groups became profound prophecies. Such as the early 80's Italian song Shadilay by P.E.P.E.

Frankly, to suggest that WoW had any dealings with Kek is to be completely ignorant of the history of Pepe.

After Pepe became the meme that we know and love, the coincidences just all kept piling up that the prophecy was only to be believed that the power of meme magic was real.

That may be a connection made afterwards, but that’s not why people started saying it. People use the word Kek in place of “lol”, which was ripped right from the WoW days.
