    Someone who based on their appearance is likely to be safe, friendly, or chill

    I thought we weren’t supposed to do this

      I mean, look at it this way, if someone has a pride flag pin on their jacket, are they more, or less, likely to be safe to approach as a queer person?

      It entirely depends on what it is you’re looking for, if it’s immutable characteristics, yeah, that’s bad

      But looking at who is safe and who isn’t in this and similar manners, is something minorities and women have always been doing

      Besides, this is tangential to the actual joke in the meme, which basically is just a jokey way of saying “they’re friend”
