Wholesome memes aren’t just cute, they’re subversive as h*ck

There’s a meme going around called “Savage Patrick.” The image features Patrick Star from Spongebob in the middle of an evil laugh, and the caption alongside the picture is generally something mildly diabolical. (“Me kicking ice under the fridge” is an early, safe-for-work example.)

But on the popular Facebook page Wholesome Memes, Savage Patrick isn’t diabolical at all. Yes, he’s still making that conniving face, which is disturbing coming from such an earnest fan of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. But this caption is really encouraging! Maybe even… inspiring?
