The joke is a cult leader sucking cock while his cult hates cocksuckers š
But we donāt mention the cult in the jokes, because then the joke doesnt trigger them.

to be blunt, I donāt believe you
if you call someone a cocksucker, itās obviously intended as an insult
telling me actually you think sucking cock is totally fine and itās actually just about the hypocrisy of the cocksucker is not believable - thatās not why these memes succeed, people are just enjoying labeling Donald Trump as a cocksucker in a pejorative way

As a person who has sucked a cock or two, I appreciate your instinct to protect, but maybe this is an āIām not comfortable making this joke, but they are allowed toā situation?

hm, I hear you - but I think that would have to be embedded in the context of the meme; itās not like anyone knows you are a ācocksuckerā in a non-pejorative sense; homophobia is what makes the meme successful, and I donāt think anything changes from the fact that you happen to be creating or sharing it
basically the homophobia is in the audience that interprets and receives the meme, the meme succeeds because it plays on that homophobia, and so the meme is āhomophobicā in that sense
I have trouble imagining these memes being shared and being popular gay communities Iām a part for that reason - the audience might find the implication that sucking cock is itself wrong as homophobic and uncomfortable
it should be clarified that when I point out the homophobia, itās not meant as some attempt to cancel the memes or indicate loyalty or protection to Trump, instead Iām just trying to point out reactionary threads that remain, the way misogyny and homophobia are common even in anti-Trump sentiment
