An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

=========

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

They were dolls (and Barbies were action figures) with the only difference being you can't dress GI Joes. Except some of them you could, IIRC.

My brother was into GI Joe. The only ones I liked were the ninjas, and the cobra guy (I think he was the bad guy leader). He was into He-Man as well, and that was a lot cooler. I can't remember why I never got into it, myself. I liked ThunderCats more. Now, the straights tend to claim ThunderCats because of the tension between Lion-O and Cheetara, but honestly, he had just as much tension with Tygra. (And, as a straight ally, I'd even say Lion-O/Tygra would be the better ship. Sometimes the guys just have more to them, especially back then, the women were more one-dimensional, not much to them.)
