When a sudden lack of privileges feels like oppression.
Other groups are having that recognition to normalize acceptance, to push back at being shamed and attacked. The straights have had no such history, they have always been held up as the standard accepted default state. For them to have any sort of “pride” is to punch down to other oppressed groups.
It’s never been socially shameful to be straight, therefore “straight pride” is generally seen for what it is: purely a bad-faith reaction to LGBTQ+ pride statements. Same for “all/blue lives matter”.
The people who post stuff like this probably know that, but it makes them feel clever I guess.
