EDIT: obvoisuly this is fake.
Someone tried to tell me this meme is an unironical mocking and introduces further divisions lol. What do you think?

Everyone is saying this is a joke, but this is top comment. I’m confused, which is it?
It’s a joke… Just loaded up the game. First hand was a straight. People can chill…

Sounds kinda sus… 😛
You must be straight here.
This is a feature, only idiots optimize for straights.
People that feel mocked by this probably take their straightness/queerness too seriously. The joke is that the devs have no way to discriminate queer/straight users, something that is factually true for the game devs and aspirationally true for society.
Balatro is a poker game. I took this to mean straight as in the hand, not straight as in some of their players
Omg I missed that, good one

No it’s a wordplay on the pokerhand and the sexual orientation.
I suppose I can see what they mean - if the goal is to foster inclusiveness then uplifting all would be a better means to achieve that rather than denigrating and “other”-ing some.
Otoh, knowing that it’s fake, it’s kinda just funny and I don’t take it with any seriousness at all.
Yeah cant see this going any other way other than irritating players and leading to people inevitably, but incorrectly, placing the blame on lgbt folkEDIT: fake, didn’t realise, mb, seemed like something balatro dev would do for a joke.
oh yeah, I should clarify this is fake
