    I’m not knocking the sentiment you describe. I’m knocking the use of projective and tokenizing bullshittery.

    I’m sorry you’re offended, but these jokes specifically are doing culture and acceptance no favors.

    You can feel accepted without reducing yourself to a token.

      Why do you insist that my primary objective should be “culture and acceptance”? People, many/most of whom presumably queer, find the meme enjoyable.

      Who are you to tell us to stop having fun in the name of conformity and that we should instead work to “win” the favor of the out-group?

        You yourself said it was about feeling seen.

        Do you think that only comes in one flavor?
