This is a two-panel edited meme using footage from the 2001 animated film *Shrek*. The top panel features Shrek leaning out of his doorway with a frustrated, pleading expression, paired with the text: 'Could you please stop trying to normalize the sexualization of minors...'. The bottom panel shows Shrek shooting glowing red laser beams from his eyes at Donkey, who is labeled 'Japan/Anime/Internet', with the large, yelling text: 'FOR FIVE FUCKING MINUTES?!'. The meme uses a popular existing format to communicate extreme, exasperated frustration at the recurring trend of underage sexualization present in some anime content, Japanese media, and broader online spaces.

This image is a viral social media post covering a real Brazilian court case. It shows the mother, who killed her boyfriend after catching him raping her 11-year-old daughter, standing smiling in a courtroom flanked by security officers. A circular inset displays the perpetrator's headshot. On-image text explains the case details, and the context from the original 9GAG post (titled 'As it should be') indicates widespread public agreement with the court's ruling that the mother committed no crime.

This is a viral meme covering the real-life story of Arizona inmate Ricky Wassenaar. The main image shows Ricky from behind, wearing an orange prison uniform, raising a homemade prison weapon (a rock wrapped in netting inside a sock) over his shoulder inside a prison dining hall with other inmates blurred in the background. A circular inset headshot of Ricky is also included. The image displays a quote from Ricky after he killed 3 convicted child molesters in one day in prison, where he states he wanted to kill all child molesters so taxpayers no longer have to pay to house them, and that this action is him paying his debt to society, noting his original goal was to kill 13. The meme's title plays on widespread public sentiment that while Ricky is technically a convicted inmate (a 'bad guy'), many people view his actions against child predators as morally justified, hence the wording that he is a bad guy but not a BAD guy.

You are bad guy. But that doesn't mean you a BAD guy

This is a two-panel Drake preference meme criticizing how many governments approach online child safety. In the top panel, Drake (representing governments) rejects the logical, effective approach of protecting children through educating them about internet use and privacy, having open conversations with them, fighting pedophilia and harmful content, and addressing smartphone addiction. In the bottom panel, Drake approves of the approach governments actually implement: rolling out mass surveillance, requiring mandatory ID verification for internet use, blocking independent websites, restricting person-to-person online connections, all done under the false pretense of "to protect children".

Governments choose mass surveillance over actual child protection
