Is Pepe the frog a hate symbol?

Yes, watch the documentary and learn something. Just because you don’t want it to mean something doesn’t mean that it hasn’t become a symbol for what you don’t stand for.

Should you have a starting soon screen?

Who cares? It’s up to you — it’s your stream. Though there is something to be said for letting your viewers trickle into the stream.
