LGBT Progression 1999–2021

1999 Just because we're homosexual doesn't mean we should be harassed. We just want to blend in and live our lives in peace Sounds entirely reasonable 2003 We're gonna hold a pride parade through our city to celebrate our lifestyle Fine with me 2008 We've made up a dozen new genders and pronouns to match. It's now a hatecrime if you don't refer to me as 'xe/xim/xis' (also latina are now called latinx) Umm... 2012 We're gonna paint your flag on all your pedestrian crossings. We will charge anyone who leaves skid-marks on them with a hatecrime. Seriously? 2014 We demand representation. All TV shows, movies, and video games must have at least one LGBT character, (also we made your favorite childhood cartoon character gay) Sounds real petty bro 2016 You are no longer allowed to say 'f**got' online anymore, even if you're joking around your friends who can handle banter Wait you're policing my speech now? 2018 #progressf?tricks We demand that you give your son puberty blockers if he likes wearing dresses Okay this is fucked up 2021 It is now federal law that men who wear wigs can participate in female sports. Any woman athlete who opposes this is a bigot I've created a monster

Мем показывает последовательность пар «Wojak и Chad» по годам с 1999 по 2021: умеренные требования о спокойной жизни постепенно сменяются всё более радикальными и абсурдными утверждениями о правах, речи, гендере и спорте. Шутка строится на сатирическом изображении предполагаемой эскалации требований ЛГБТ-активизма и реакции Чада, который в конце признаёт, что сам создал монстра. Мем используют как саркастическую реакцию на разговоры о культурных войнах и «слишком далеко зашедшем» прогрессе. EN: The meme shows a sequence of “Wojak and Chad” pairs from 1999 to 2021: moderate requests for peaceful coexistence gradually turn into increasingly radical and absurd claims about rights, speech, gender, and sports. The joke satirically portrays an alleged escalation of LGBT activism and ends with Chad admitting that he created a monster. It is used sarcastically in discussions about culture wars and progress supposedly going too far.
