Stephen Hillenburg’s legacy is being disrespected. Not every show has an agenda. He just wanted to make people happy.

I hate how spongebob haters say Spongebob is “bad for kids” while also complaining about Spongebob being “too childish.”

It ain’t the Spongebob creator’s fault for child obesity, it’s the goddamn parent’s fault for not feeding their kid healthy food properly.

I don’t care what anyone says, Sailor Mouth is one of the best episodes of series.
