How the ceo of patreon was moving when he blocked Bricks & Minfigs takedown of Reckless Ben’s patreon
Overview
This meme pairs a top text caption with a viral photo of famous Mexican soccer goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa performing a dramatic, acrobatic save during a professional match. The caption compares Ochoa's impressive save to the Patreon CEO's action of blocking a takedown request from brand Bricks & Minifigs targeting creator Reckless Ben's Patreon account. The original post title is 'The actual goat', which is internet slang for 'Greatest of All Time', framing the CEO's choice to protect the creator as an extremely admirable, skillful move, drawing a humorous direct parallel to Ochoa's gravity-defying athletic feat.
