What it means

A four-panel meme compares how different groups supposedly depict yaoi: straight women draw conventionally attractive, delicate male characters, gay men draw a muscular masculine couple, lesbians draw a cute and androgynous character, and straight men are represented by Walter White and Jesse Pinkman facing each other. The joke playfully stereotypes different audiences’ approaches to male-male romance and references Breaking Bad as an unexpectedly intense version of “straight men yaoi”.
