The Brief: A meme that shows bad guy doing (sort of) wholesome things, with the Wreck-It-Ralph quote, "You are bad guy, but this does not mean you are bad guy."
DEEP DIVE
This meme took off on Reddit in 2019, where users applied the still from this scene to news stories where someone does something criminal or mischievous, but for a seemingly positive reason. It is taken from Disney’s 2012 animated film Wreck-It-Ralph, where a fellow arcade game villain consoles Ralph by saying, “You are bad guy, but this does not mean you are bad guy.”

PETA:

This meme-maker is changing up the format to apply to PETA, the animal rights organization that has come under fire for criticizing beloved entities like Pokémon and the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin.
