The Joe Biden meme was created by Internet-fluent intelligence agents in order to act as some emergency eleventh-hour subterfuge against the dangerously viral videos and images of Joe acting weirdly around younger people. Then useful idiots from Imgur took it under their wings to make as many as possible. And thus, the pseudo-meme of Biden being a closet pedophile was very quickly co-opted by what is essentially the antithesis to that idea; an innocent bumbling moron with a childlike attitude towards everything.
All the pictures of "Biden just loves his ice cream, silly Biden" and the "Obama and Biden are just a couple of best friends" memes... I never realized the infantilizing nature of those but now it makes sense. Biden touching little girls inappropriately doesn't seem nearly as creepy (even though it should) if people think "That Biden is just a kid at heart!" Nah hes a fucking old creepy asshole.
