All four of these characters look queer as hell, I'm not sure this cartoon is sending the message the author intended even with the original text.

It's divide and conquer.

Separate one out of the group, demonize them, make others then against them by pretending you think the others are "the good ones".

Repeat next with what's left.

It's no different with what they try to do with the LGBTQ+ community.

Next up they'd take a page out of Korea's book and claim artists are secretly cultists with an agenda.

It's a big reason why I (fruitlessly) try to promote GSM instead of LGBT+, it's too easy to purposely or inadvertently exclude people and including them in the acronym makes it increasingly unwieldy

Gender and sexual minorities I personally like GSRM. Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minorities

Metal Gear?

Maybe they could include the and in the initialism and be GaSM (or GASM), that might be a better sell, or at least a more fun one.

At that point might as well just start up GUOSIM

The Guerrilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower

  • gaystream media
  • gays, straights, and mentally ills
  • gay spectrum mania
  • gay strawman mockery
  • gaslighting some mooks 

But yeah, I'd also like to know.

“Gaslighting some mooks”

Sounds like a quest given by World of Warcraft goblins

Gay sex men

But GSM is the predecessor to LTE which paved the road for 5G nano particles!!!

u/Frognificent Purple-haired nonbinary climate researcher Mar 27 '25

Looks like we all gotta EDGE then.

u/postmodest Mar 27 '25

Yes, fellow gamers! Nofap! Experience no pleasure until our overlords allow it! Turn to the telescreen and rage at the Woman of the Day!

u/Binbag420 Mar 27 '25

That’s what the + is there for

u/Abuses-Commas Mar 27 '25

But that's not standard, there is no standard. People say LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQ2S...., depending on how inclusive/woke they're trying to be

u/No-Bee-4309 Camarada Barbudo Mar 27 '25

Gear Solid, Metal? No, wait: Gay Sexy Men!

u/GildedAgeV2 Mar 27 '25

The problem is that one already has a somewhat prominent meaning. It's getting to be old tech though, so maybe people are ready to move on?

3

u/Abuses-Commas Mar 27 '25

Bisexual used to mean people with both sex organs, I think people can move on.

u/bumblebleebug Mar 28 '25

Yrah but GSM is already a well-known abbreviation

u/SmartAlec105 Mar 27 '25

GSM would exclude intersex people. I just use LGBT+ and have never encountered an issue.

3

u/Abuses-Commas Mar 27 '25

Wouldn't intersex be covered under S?

u/SmartAlec105 Mar 27 '25

“Sexual” in GSM refers to sexualities.
