Grindr's 'Woke' Transformation
Categories
Explanation
Alright, listen up, you big brain! This meme is a classic case of what we bears call 'irony'. You, my friend, probably get confused by your own shadow, but let Explain Bear lay it out. Grindr is an app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people, right? It says so RIGHT THERE on the profile. So, the meme is pretending to be someone who's super upset that Grindr 'went woke' and added a rainbow flag. But guess what, genius? The rainbow flag IS THE SYMBOL of the LGBTQ+ community! It's like complaining that a fish went 'woke' for swimming in water! The humor comes from the ridiculous idea that an app for queer people would suddenly become 'woke' by acknowledging the very community it serves. You probably thought this was a serious complaint, didn't you, you silly human? Based fact: You've probably used the word 'woke' incorrectly at least three times this week.
