This meme consists of a top text block placed above a widely used reaction image. The top text reads 'If you think being gay is a choice then you're probably bisexual'. The image below features actor Walton Goggins with a shocked, wide-eyed, slightly open-mouthed expression, as if he has just had a sudden, unexpected epiphany. The joke makes a snarky rhetorical point: people who claim queerness is a conscious choice are implying they themselves could choose to be attracted to the same gender, meaning they are likely bisexual, as people exclusively attracted to one gender never consider attraction to other genders as a possible choice.

This is a two-panel black-and-white edgy meme. The top panel features Derek Vinyard, the neo-nazi character from the film *American History X* (played by Edward Norton), shouting while pulling down his tank top to reveal a swastika tattoo on his chest. Text overlaid on the top left reads 'SEE THIS? THAT MEANS NOT WELCOME.' The bottom panel cuts to a close-up of a man's face, which is covered by five icons: the crying-laughing emoji, the classic Twitter bird logo, the Instagram app icon, the TikTok app icon, and the LGBTQ+ pride flag. The meme conveys the poster's nostalgia for older, earlier iterations of the 9GAG platform, and expresses that the referenced entities (mainstream social media platforms, pervasive casual joking culture, and prevalent LGBTQ+ discourse) are unwanted by the poster, who believes they have ruined the community.

The meme is split into two sections: the upper section displays a public statement attributed to J.K. Rowling originally posted on Twitter/X, which says that while she wishes trans people safety, health and happiness and supports their right to exist, she believes their existence should not violate other people's rights to privacy, dignity and free speech, or require society to restructure to accommodate what she calls a fallacy. The lower section features a photo of J.K. Rowling sitting in an armchair in a study-like room with bookshelves in the background, gesturing as she speaks, with a copy of her novel *The Running Grave* (published under her pen name Robert Galbraith) placed on a table beside her. The post frames Rowling's statement as an example of a microaggression.
