Overview

This meme critiques the unsubtle way some online comic creators use the colors of the transgender pride flag (light blue, pink, white) to explicitly signal that a character is transgender, leaving no room for subtlety. The top text reads: 'Online comic creators figuring out where to put the trans flag colors so the reader knows for a fact, without any doubt, that the trans character is trans:'.

Origin notes

The bottom portion of the meme is a reaction image of a real woman, likely a screenshot from a TV show or interview, which has been repurposed as a reaction macro on social media platforms like Twitter/X, Tumblr, and Reddit. The meme is a user-created remix, combining this existing reaction image with original text commentary about webcomic representation. This type of image macro is common in online communities discussing LGBTQ+ media and content creation.
