It is one of those “stop doing x” memes that are usually some blend of tongue-in-cheek and outright surrealism, and they always end in “they played us for absolute fools”. Here is an older example of the meme:
Or if thats not the part that confused you, binary genders would be just two genders with no variations or differences in the gender of any two men, or any two women. It is a perspective that is antithetical to progressive/modern understanding of gender in culture, and the trans community generally opposes it. Trans communities usually prefer the idea of a gender spectrum, where masculine and feminine are the opposite ends of a gradient, but even that can recieve criticism for excluding Agender people.

Using anime/manga characters is cheating. 😛

Isn’t this meme format usually used with text that’s supposed to be absurd and over the top? Usually when I see this it’s with text that the author wouldn’t actually agree with, or at least not when taken to the extreme the meme implies. Maybe I just got lost in the layers of parody, but isn’t the format kind of undermining the point you’re trying to make here?

Hi thanks for the ama invite, my question is: can you link the know your meme page it’s from so i don’t have to google it?
ok, so… i totally forgot i posted this…
i literally just logged in on lemmy and saw the notifications and panicked
I’m sorry if anyone felt this was made with I’ll intent, it was not
as a little bit of context: I recognize this was made out of a template that tends to suggest that the creator themselves to be wrong, but honestly at that point I had already bound some “this but unironically” memes that I liked and though were a lot more common
also, I just thought it was fun and didn’t think much of it since most of my posts don’t usually get a lot of reach
I did realize that the meme did kind of spark a little bit of discussion regarding binary genders, which I think it’s really cool!
do let me know if you think any of the criticisms does warrant removing the post, tho
Posts must be titled “egg_irl”. An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between “egg” and “irl”.
thanks, i totally forgot

Even tho i agree at some point , I don’t like directives or radical messages. The idea of this mixes too many things and is falls to promote hatred
