That's Just Plain Reality Confession Bear Meme
Text content
I'M NOT MISOGYNISTIC OR HOMOPHOBIC BUT I RECOGNIZE THERE ARE SHITTY WOMEN AND SHITTY GAY PEOPLE
Overview
This is an iteration of the popular Confession Bear image macro meme. It features a photograph of a sun bear with a somber, reluctant, awkward expression resting its front paws on a log. The text above the bear reads 'I'M NOT MISOGYNISTIC OR HOMOPHOBIC', and the text below reads 'BUT I RECOGNIZE THERE ARE SHITTY WOMEN AND SHITTY GAY PEOPLE'. The humor and point of the meme come from presenting a controversial, nuanced take: it draws a distinction between holding bigoted views against entire marginalized groups and recognizing that bad, unpleasant individuals exist across all demographic groups, delivered in the classic unapologetic, awkward confession format characteristic of the Confession Bear template.
