The internet can have its toxic moments, especially during these times of turmoil and political divisiveness. Fortunately, we have pages like Blessed Images to provide us with the occasional timeline cleanse.
However, experts have actually noticed that the wholesome side of cyberspace is getting more of the spotlight, a refreshing turn of events.
In an article for Medium, Tilburg University researcher Dr. Piia Varis pointed out the existence of the “wholesome internet,” where trolls do the opposite and go after the racists and bigots online.
An article by MIC gave an example of how some hate-based subreddits had been taken over by “wholesome trolls,” one of them being the Race Realism subreddit. Previously a haven for white supremacist Redditors, the community has since shifted to talking about races of various types: bicycle, Formula One, NASCAR, and even three-legged.
Another article in Time Magazine noted that the internet has indeed become a more pleasant place to be in. 2016, in particular, was a year when uplifting memes became a source of solace for people after a tumultuous period around the US presidential elections.
“A lot of that has made the consumption of more positive emotions desirable,” applied media psychology expert Dr. Pamela Rutledge told the publication. “We’re self-medicating in a good way.”
Like Blessed Images on Facebook, Wholesome Memes on Instagram is an online community that’s been a source of positive vibes. The individual behind the page, who didn’t share her identity, spoke to Fader about her motivation.
“Getting positive responses from people really made me want to [commit to it], to make them happier in this bright, little corner of the internet,” the woman expressed.
I’ve seen this one a lot. Grand Larceny- Left Petty theft- Right “My name is Ichigo Montoya, and this is my son. We are very not suspicious, trust us with all your valuables.”
I had to look this one up. This is what I found: "The installation was a roadside attraction at the Oregon Undersea Gardens in Newport, Oregon. Located along the historic bayfront near Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, the facility featured a sunken viewing area to see local marine life. The Undersea Gardens has since closed permanently."
Vons (big grocery chain in the US) doesn't say anything when I bring my dog into the store, but they wouldn't let an old homeless woman bring in her dog to get her meds. She was so scared about leaving the dog tied up outside the store and was crying. Luckily someone volunteered to watch her dog for her (I was about to do so).
