Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

I know this is just a meme, but in case anyone thinks it's real, it isn't. I can't find any mention in Sappho's poems about broccoli nor any articles on queer history of lesbians giving out broccoli at any point.

Remember: if it seems ridiculous or too good to be true, it probably is and deserves some research to confirm so you aren't spreading misinformation or more malicious disinformation.

There's also this blog post on it, but it alone also isn't a reputable source. I just can't find anyone else who actually dug into this and wrote about it.

Yeah it's definitely not true. The 52nd citation in this little "fact" sheet is a red flag too.

I'm a straight male and I've always hated broccoli. It's all suddenly making so much sense.

I haven't gotten my head stuck in a tree since I was a small child.

I saw this was a reply over this meme and clicked through expecting you to be talking about how I'm a man and not a lesbian.
