Hi all, sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but I'm totally n00b when it comes to law and legal stuffs, sooo..... I have a plan to make an RPG game, and the characters would be of several races: the "pepe" (the green frog meme) race, and the "feel guy" (the white "feel" meme guy) race are some of them. It would also heavily use pop-art (memes) in its contents. Now, I'm afraid that once it gets released (hopefully), I would get sued for violation of copyright. I thought memes are not copyrighted yet, but I'm not sure. Would I need to take some kind of legal stances before using memes in my games? :unsure:

Kek isn't copyrighted. Actually a steam game I have has all of it's badges set to kek references, and a trading card referencing people who transcended reality by sitting on their computers until they died.

"Make america great again: The trump presidency" on steam also has emoticons/cards very similar, but somewhat different to pepe.
